Where the menu item's text is self-explanatory, there usually is no
tooltip that pops up. In other words, tooltips for menu items should be
defined only where they are really needed.

You should be able to do a "C-h k", then click the menu item and get its
explanation. Another C-h function jumps to the manual for a description
of any key, but the problem in using this with menu items is that menu
items are generally not described at all in the manual. So this is a
documentation problem rather than a functionality problem; if someone
writes an appendix for the manual with the description of all the menu
items, it would be instantly available for the purpose you want it.
