??? The name of the buffer is fixed: " *tip*" (with the leading
space).  You can even switch to it interactively, and see the text
there (it would be the text of the last tootlip displayed), provided
that your build is not GTK, or if it is GTK, you've turned off GTK
tooltips and switched to the native ones.

We'd need to modify the code to stash the tooltip text in some buffer
or variable.
