What part of balloons? If you mean 'balloonexpr', it only returns plain
text. Perhaps you mean the functionality to detect the mouse pointer is
hovering over text for some time? Well, we could add 'balloonpopup',
which would open a popup window with anything it likes and return the
window ID. That window would then be closed when the mouse moves.
