Ah, excellent, thanks, would have been a shame to implement it without
noticing that :-)  And there's no delay in this event firing the way
there is with tool tips, so it works much better for browsing menu
functionality.

So now we just need to identify a source of useful tips.  I think the
@menu tree could carry them, or they could come from the doc. string of
the function the menu fires.  Don't want repeated descriptions in two
different places, but suspect the appropriate one liners might be
easier to collect in the @menu tree.
