That would help indeed,
but you only see the hint text of a button AFTER you clicked it, which is a bit late, i.m.h.o.
You can show the hint by using get_item_property to get the hint for an item, and the message command to show the hint. Combine this with when-mouse-enter and when-mouse-leave triggers, and you can see your hint without clicking. Don't forget the clear_message built in in the when-mouse-leave trigger.
