Does Streamlit have a component for an information button, usually accompanied with an “i” icon on websites (Information button - Free logo icons). The button should open up a new window to display an explanation / information about a component. I know Streamlit has expanders that can serve this purpose but they take up too much space and folding/unfolding is cumbersome.
Hi @ngallo1 ,
All Streamlit “input” widgets have a help argument with the functionality you describe 
. Check out the Streamlit API docs.

Hi @ngallo1 ,
as marduk mentioned (thanks marduk!),
the help keyword in the button should be of use but technically it doesn’t open up a window but it will open up some information in a small modal.

Thank you. Is this feature discussed in Streamlit docs/examples? I didn’t see it anywhere.
I’m not sure if this feature is discussed in the examples but it definitely shows up in the docs. st.button - Streamlit Docs
It shows up in the parameters. If you have any suggestions, please feel free to post them and we would love any feedback for Streamlit
My only suggestion is to advertise the feature better.
