as Alex notes, it would make most sense add this as a member of 
ToolTipContent.

but i don't actually see the problem. if the data is updating and changing, 
why should the tip disappear? i mean .. how annoying would that be? 

user mouses over network read out
network widget pops up a tooltip noting the current throughput rate
user it watching it ... and it disappears!
mouse out, mouse back in, repeat.

so what is the use case for hiding a tooltip where the data is changing?
