What do you mean by "external objects"?
You could do a tooltip when the user enters a field ("when it becomes
the first responder"). You can work out easily the bounds of the text
box, then just make a new UIView (which has the stuff in it you want
to display), add it into the same view that contains the textbox, and
position it in the right place. You can also bring it to the front to
make sure it shows over the top of everything else.
Is that what you mean?
