you can take a look at the widget explorer in kde- workspace/libs/plasmagenericshell/widgetsexplorer/package/contents/ui it has a thing that behaves like a tooltip even if with custom content > Just FYI, here is the - very basic and primitive - QML thus far: > http://paste.kde.org/492464/ not complicated at all.
