How about a non-standard, multiline tooltip? Same simple presentation as the standard tooltip, showing on mouseover with a reasonable delay. See, for example, the way news story abstracts display upon rollover of the headline in the CNN news gadget: http://www.gmodules.com/ig/creator?synd=open&url=http://quotesandlines.googlepages.com/cnn-news-customized-rss-feeds.xmlpt=&context=b&synd=open&lang=en&.lang=en&country=us&.country=us&cat=news&num=24&start=0&cols=4&objs=OVJ,WXnd,Hg,2sQ,UDF,Snj,Rm,Z9t,Ro1h,0KL,1N8,mQx,UF1q,we,3sR,bTw,p,B2eyK,kHK,Wb,Rk,QEC,2sWY,3Yt0&sn=UDF&lang=en
