Description Ed Willink

Why is ToolTipHelper.currentTipSource an IFigure?

If it was an Object, ToolTipHelper could be used much more easily
with TreeEditPart which has a widget rather than a figure.

Actually I do not see any advantage in changing the type of the currentTipSource from IFigure to Object. What benefit would that bring?

8 years on I can add little to my original comment. The API at that point was clearly inhibiting a re-use. Since then HTML styling has happened so observations from so long ago are unlikely to be relevant.

Resolving as WORKSFORME then.
