Inline Help Text Approaches

Hi,

I want to add some "inline" help text to an app I'm working on, much like the text in the screenshot linked here from Apple Backup:

http://stevenhuey.net/pics/Backup.png

The text I'm describing is the gray text over the table views such as: "Add QuickPicks, files, and folders..." that appears over the table, but once you add something is hidden.

Are there any best practices or standard approaches to this? What about if I want to include an image as well?

Thanks,
Steve
