Good news: Yes, there is a way to do this - my grid class does that, and I use it QLL the time. Actually, I display a lot more than tooltips, sometimes tables (fixed font) with lots of data. (I took the idea from an article by Srt Bergquist from an 2003 article in Fox Talk

Bad news: This is embedded in my grid class and not so easy to extract. I see that your requirement has been removed, so it seems like its not worth pursuing more.

The full name is in another cursor that I can look up or I can add it to this cursor as an extra field. This cursor has a FILTER which I think complicated things a little. I've been tinkering with "GridHitTest" but haven't been able to resolve this problem.
