<p class="MsoNormal">Hi QGIS,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have been researching for two days now and not sure if this achievable, but is it possible to only show points for the corresponding labels that are showing?  I have a rule based labeling structure for a layer.  I want to only show points
 for those labels showing.  I found this post from two years ago: <a href="https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/217067/showing-only-point-markers-when-labels-are-shown-in-qgis">
https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/217067/showing-only-point-markers-when-labels-are-shown-in-qgis</a> suggesting it was not possible.  I was hoping this was may have been addressed in QGIS 3.0 or perhaps this is some programmatic solution I am missing. 
 Attached is screen shot of the issue.  Too many points for the labels.<o:p></o:p></p>
