I like option 3. Regarding the rename, imho I think it’s better not to call
them a name with “help” or “tooltip” or “hover” because it’s restrictive.
In several occasions I used them not as tooltips, for example I used them
to show information to a user as an alternative to info dialogs and status
lines.
Btw, I think it would be nice if the Cuis balloons had a pointy corner
indicating the morph that the balloon comes from, to continue with the
metaphor of the original cartoonish balloons, like a morph is saying
something. If I remember correctly the original balloons would make pointy
one of the four corners depending on the relative position of the source
morph.
