It separates concerns in a clear way and gives clean semantics. Hence I fully agree with you. Unfortunately, in personal practice, I'm suffering from a quite similar problem. In particular, I display eldoc output on a per-window basis in a one-line window below the code window (I hate eldoc output in the echo area, I don't like it in the header line, and I very much hate tooltips. Ideally, there would be a bottom-line right above the mode-line where I could put it, but ...).
Have you tried displaying a tooltip in that position, by let-binding tooltip-frame-parameters around the call to tooltip-show? ,----[ C-h f tooltip-show RET ] | tooltip-show is a compiled Lisp function in `tooltip.el'. | (tooltip-show text &optional use-echo-area) | | Show a tooltip window displaying text. | | Text larger than `x-max-tooltip-size' is clipped. | | If the alist in `tooltip-frame-parameters' includes `left' and `top' | parameters, they determine the x and y position where the tooltip | is displayed.
