It would be nice if a custom tree view had support for showing a custom cell tooltip.

Something like this interface:
  nsITreeView.getCellTooltipText(PRInt32 row , nsITreeColumn col) => String

Which would return the tooltiptext string to be displayed by the tree tooltip handler.

It may also be nice to be able to return an actual tooltip element id that would be displayed instead of the tree's own tooltip element, such as this:
  nsITreeView.getCellTooltip(PRInt32 row , nsITreeColumn col) => String
