tooltips for UI text elements such as labels.

I write an addon called Turbo Tools: 3dillusions.gumroad.com/turbo_tools

It would be really handy to be able to add tooltips to standard text elements such as box.label. Or perhaps to ensure users know there's a tooltip available for them, a tooltip icon such as an 'info' tooltip that looks like a question mark or some such.

I do understand why one would want such thing, but the thing is: from a user perspective, text is just text, nobody would ever expect to be able to have a tooltip when hovering any piece of text.

What we can see on websites and some software, is text that can be interacted with have a specific formatting to indicate there's something particular. And for tooltips, it's often a form of formatting close to links, like a dashed underline with a slightly different color or mass.

So, I think for such thing to work, it would require to also have a specific formatting for any text that have a tooltip.

perhaps a tooltip icon would be good.
