That's not essential, the key idea is that type list should be extensible,
your idea about /sim/mouse/enabled-tooltip-type[0]="whatthis" is fine (and
immediately suggests /sim/mouse/enabled-tooltip-label[0]="What's this?" -
or is dynamic type list in the dialog is also impossible?).

If there will be more than one tooltip type then we have to support showing
all of them at once, otherwise it's either "instrument reading" or "what's
this?".  However it was my bad idea to show them separately.  It should be
possible to implement support for several <hovered> blocks with different
<type> (renamed to <tooltip-class>?), but after checking which ones are
enabled you simply concatenate them with an empty line in between and show
as a single multiline tooltip.  More work still :).

You are the boss, go ahead if you feel like it.  Thanks!
