QToolTip::showDocument( QPoint, QWidget* ) could cover more cases. There are 
already widgets impelemnted taht people would want to display in this way.

And let's don't forget about QToolTip::showDocument( QRect, QWidget* ) 
version, that could be probably used even more frequently, since 
tooltips/toolwidgets are often related to whole rectangular area (e.g. a piece 
os selected text) and thus it's usable to ask the framework to place the 
tooltip in an appropriate place.
