I’m trying to find a solution for disabling hover info on “empty” data points.  
“Empty” because I have a %-based barchart where I fill empty data points with dummy data in order to still display the bar. The resulting hoverinfo with all the 0-information are less than ideal, so I’d like to find a way to disable those whenever the data point is completely empty.  
It currently looks like this:

`hoverinfo:'none'` only seems to work for an entire trace at a time, so it would automatically remove the hoverinfo from the other bars (in this case ‘Total’) as well. Is there any way to set the hover-properties of a single datapoint within a trace, without affecting the others?
