Perl/Tk balloon is based in Tix, so if you make available Tix in your Tcl installation - you could access this functionality from Tkx. (However I heard advices against using Tix... although Tix is not bad IMHO) > Does anyone have experience/advice in customizing the contents of the > balloon/tooltip window using DynamicHelp, tooltip, or some > other package, > beyond simple text? http://wiki.tcl.tk/3060 at the very top has some minimalist "balloon" which is actually a toplevel with some parameters, so - this is another way to provde anything in your balloon.
