Calculate the rectangles (or at least the left and right edges) of each segment and in a mouseEnter handler compare the mouseLoc to the rectangles to see which one it's in. Then set the tooltip to the appropriate string. You can also add a mouseMove handler to do the same thing if you want to change tooltips as the mouseLoc changes inside the widget.
