I don't think so.

You may need to roll your own. Just a field whose 'visible' is changed. The
advantage is that you can have multi-line tooltips that don't obscure
anything important and they can stay open from 'mouseEnter' to 'mouseLeave'.
The disadvantage of course is you have to go about manually creating a bunch
of fields just the right size in just the right place; or noting all these
details so that you can use one field, but set its loc and content as
appropriate for each control:-(

That's the best I can offer:-)
