No, Alex is talking about a debug-time tooltip, the one that shows up if you 
hover over the name of an active variable while stopped at a breakpoint. 
There’s a way to customize what’s displayed by implementing a specific method.

I couldn’t remember the details either, but I remembered it’s called QuickLook, 
so I googled [xcode quicklook] and this was the top hit:

tl;dr: The method you add to your class is -debugQuickLookObject. The return 
type is ‘id’ — there’s a whole bunch of different classes you can return, like 
NSString, NSAttributedString, NSImage, NSColor, NSBezierPath. The object you 
return gets rendered in the tooltip.
