LC's htmlText supports the name attribute, so you can use something like
this:
<a name="Some text you want to display">Link Label</a>
I take back what I just said about inventing tag names, it doesn't seem
to work now. I could have sworn it used to. So your method is better.
I remember what I was thinking of now. It isn't the tag you can
customize, it's the URI. So you can do something like this:
<a href="tooltip">Some text</a>
Then use what Richard posted to grab the linktext of the mousechunk to
see if it contains "tooltip":
on mousemove x,y
get the linktext of the mousechunk
if it contains "tooltip" then
set the tooltip of me to "This is a tip"
else
set the tooltip of me to empty
end if
end mousemove
This time I tested it...
