Yep, exactly.

You should be able to call populateTimeInfoTip or populateSizeInfoTip
and pass data in the second parameter (file). The tip template
(domplate) is reading data from this object.

I don't think you can easily show the tip (reused from the panel or
your own) within the custom tab.
As you correctly mentioned, you don't have a new panel and so, you
don't have showInfoTip method.
Firebug.InfoTip is distribution the "showInfoTip" event only to the
currently selected panel.
I think we should distribute the "showInfoTip" also to registered
listeners through "dispatch", which is a mechanism already used on
many places in Firebug so, shortly, here is the showInfoTip in InfoTip
object:
Firebug.InfoTip = extend(Firebug.Module,
{
showInfoTip: function(infoTip, panel, target, x, y, rangeParent,
rangeOffset)
{
if (!Firebug.showInfoTips)
return;
if (panel.showInfoTip(infoTip, target, scrollX, y,
rangeParent, rangeOffset))
{
// panel.showInfoTip returns true, which means the panel
is displaying a tip for the given target.
}
else
{
// info tip is not displayed, give a chance to the other
listeners.
var result = dispatch2(this.fbListeners, "showInfoTip",
[infoTip, target, scrollX, y, rangeParent, rangeOffset]);
}
}
});
In your case you would register the custom net tab as a listener
Firebug.InfoTip.addListener(...)
and handle the event.
If you thing this is the correct way for you, please report a new bug
and I'll prepare a patch!
As soon as this concept is properly designed we can solve the problem
how to reuse tips in the net panel (I guess it'll be simple, if not
working already)
