I personally wouldn't do this exactly because it is an "undocumented
behavior" subject to future breakage. I've had one too many sessions of
responding to user complaints because something that worked fine before
crashed and burned on a new OS.
But I will note that I would much rather have tips in the normal text face
and not in bold. The bold font is disproportionately wide and makes
anything more than a handful of words difficult to read due to frequent
line breaks.
