Aaron thanks for the reply,

the plasmoid is already a hybrid one (backend in c++and qml ui) but I 
dont know
if I have the skills to implement this task. I would definitely give it 
a try in the feature.

If I understood correct, you propose to take the QML ToolTip Item c++ 
code in my
plasmoid and change it in order to use the Plasma::ToolTipContent, 
windowsPreview
in a way to use it in QML.

Being honest I have already tried to use QML ToolTip in my plasmoid with 
no success,
I couldnt find any documentation  but I will give it a second try by 
examining the
relevant source code...

cheers.
