Hello

I've idea regarding tool tips in Plasma.
Currently we have some methods for them to set, like main and sub texts, image 
and windows to preview.
It is enough for 90% of use cases, but there is sometimes need for something 
more than these properties.
So I'm asking for possibility to add possibility to set own widget instead of 
current layout with labels.
Of course if it is possible and doesn't create too much problems (for example 
when morphing contents of two tool tips when showing next when second was shown 
already).
Now there are at least two applets that currently uses own tool tip 
implementations because they want to add some functionality to them (for 
example add more than one preview - recently added to SVN - and some actions).
The drawback is that they must be managed by applets and there is no move and 
"morphing" animation (by the way, there could be option to disable it, not 
everybody likes it ;-)).
I've one more idea, for tool tips in systray, but I don't think that it is 
really currently possible to do.
For example I've in systray three applications, Opera, Pidgin and Amarok.
Each of them has own tool tip. This is very inconsistent.
I don't know if it is possible but maybe applications could register only text 
and image, maybe other resources and then systray would display them in way 
that makes them all consistent like other Plasma tool tips.

Best regards
Michał
