Sounds like overengineering to me. It's already hard enough to
get people to add the `help-echo' property (additionally to docstrings,
comments, and the manual).
I think we only need some ways for those properties to be used/usable
without a mouse.
What you suggested sounds pretty good. We could also have a more noisy
option that always echos the help-echo property around point (after some
idle delay, of course). Or some other that hilights text with the
`mouse-face' face when point is inside.
