One possible 'tooltip' behaviour is that it pops up when I move the mouse over the item in question, but that’s just a convention (and not a very accessible one). It doesn't work very well with input methods that don't have a well-defined 'hover' (such as touch), either. David Singer Multimedia and Software Standards, Apple Inc.
