There are actually three possibilities-- balloon, statusbar, and window item at
the bottom of the patch (which is the current pd-extended implementation).
As I said in the pd-l2ork thread related to this, I've combined two features--
canvas tips and objects tips-- into one concept, but maybe they should
be broken out so that GUI-Class/GUI-plugin developers can choose one or
the other. (And still, the user could choose status bar vs. balloons.)
