I tried this, but once you show the first tooltip, it doesn't change

doesn't get called more than once for that rectangle. Is there a way
to force the tooltip to refresh on a mouseMove?
Calling removeToolTipRects and addToolTipRect again should do it...
Nope. Because addToolTipRect adds the new tracking rectangle to the
window with assumeInside:NO so it still doesn't change until you move
outside of the tooltip rect and back in.
It would be extremely helpful if Apple exposed the underlying code for
bringing up tooltips so that we could handle them ourselves if desired.
Something like -showTooltip and -hideTooltip methods for cases where we
want to do complicated tooltip handling and are tracking mouseMoved
events already.
