Hi,

I think Twitter's Bootstrap toolkit is sg to consider.

http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/javascript.html#tooltips

also

http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/javascript.html#popovers

I already used them, they're easy and fun to implement. :)
I think if the content already appers somewhere on the page, you can simply
reference it using it's element id.
hope it helps
