You can get the canvas element from the context and set the cursor to pointer on that like so:

Chart.register(ChartDataLabels)

const options = {
  type: 'bar',
  data: {
    labels: ["Red", "Blue", "Yellow", "Green", "Purple", "Orange"],
    datasets: [{
      label: '# of Votes',
      data: [12, 19, 3, 5, 2, 3],
      backgroundColor: 'pink'
    }]
  },
  options: {
    plugins: {
      datalabels: {
        listeners: {
          enter: (ctx) => {
            ctx.chart.canvas.style.cursor = 'pointer'
          },
          leave: (ctx) => {
            ctx.chart.canvas.style.cursor = 'default'
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

const ctx = document.getElementById('chartJSContainer').getContext('2d');
new Chart(ctx, options);
<body>
  <canvas id="chartJSContainer" width="600" height="400"></canvas>
