This looks interesting. Parsing .ui files seems to be a bit limiting though. 
What about doing this at run-time of the application? You could parse the 
QObject tree of a dialog and extract the WhatsThis texts from there. It could 
also be used to create screenshots, maybe even automatically create an image 
where the WhatsThis texts are connected to the associated widgets by an arrow 
or something like that.
