The tool tip never appears, and the info. at https://wiki.qt.io/Qt_project_org_faq#How_can_I_add_tooltips_to_actions_in_menus.3F seems correct. Following the subclass and intercept event path from the above link, I also notice that there's a significant delay in the tool-tip even firing, which might not be ideal for tfer's "browsing functionality" use case. Fix for the delay seems to be to use the on-enter event or mouse tracking, but that's tricky for menu items because they're not first class widgets.
