Hmm... that looks like a lot of work.
Here's what I do:

When you're passing the data array to FillInData, have one of the 
elements be the desired tooltip. Pick that out of the array, and set the 
tooltip of the datagrid element to the data. In PowerTools this looks 
like (in the row behavior script)

command FillInData pDataArray
    local tWidgetName, tDisplayName
...
    lock screen
    repeat with tWidgetNum=1 to ColumnCount()
...
      if pDataArray["Tooltip" & tWidgetNum] is not empty then
         set the tooltip of image tWidgetNum of me to pDataArray 
["Tooltip" & tWidgetNum]
