With the current version from svn you can do things like this:

\<% tooltip ‘big\_bad\_button’ do -%\>  
Press this button to initiate auto-destruction.  
\<% end -%\>

Where ‘big\_bad\_button’ is the DOM id of your element.

Get the current plugin+ js from from

What do you mean by featured? You can style the tooltip as you like
