 By that I mean, when you mouseover a tiddlyLink (to a tiddler) I would 
 like to put my own tooltip rather than the customary 'author, created, 
 modified' that the system puts in. I assume I'll need a 'field' and 
 something in that field for each tiddler. any help/thoughts???

For ease of implementation, I suggest using a tiddler slice, rather than a 
custom field.  Try this:

1) Put the following javascript code into a tiddler, tagged with 
systemConfig, then save-and-reload your document
//{{{
Tiddler.prototype.TWCore_getSubtitle=Tiddler.prototype.getSubtitle;
Tiddler.prototype.getSubtitle = function() {
 return store.getTiddlerSlice(this.title,'tooltip')||this.TWCore_getSubtitle
();
};
//}}}

2) To override the default tooltip for a given tiddler, add a tooltip: 
slice entry into that tiddler's text, like this:
/%
tooltip: this is the custom text
%/

Note the use of /% and %/ comment markers surrounding the slice definition. 
  This prevents the embedded slice definition from being displayed in the 
tiddler output.

enjoy,
