Hi,

I have a question regarding viewing the genotype in the auspice output. For instance, is it possible to pre specify amino acid locations for a particular site, and when you click on that site when colouring by “genotype”, that value is immediately put into the position section. E.g. it should look something like this

I did take a look at the auspice\_config.json options ([https://github.com/nextstrain/augur/blob/master/augur/data/schema-auspice-config-v2.json](https://github.com/nextstrain/augur/blob/master/augur/data/schema-auspice-config-v2.json)) but I did not find anything that could help. The closest thing I found that I might be able to go off is in “colourings”, for the key “gt” (for genotype), I add something like the “legends” property like this:

> ```
> "colorings": [
> {
> "key": "gt",
> "title": "Genotype",
> "type": "categorical",
> "legend": [
> {
> "value": "here"
> },
> {
> "display": "HRSVgp01"
> }
> ]
> 
> ```

Is this possible to do?
