You can use the title attribute for most things, although it's limited in the amount of characters you can use - but be careful not to repeat the same information that's in the object or link itself as that can get confusing for people using screenreaders.

exist any alternative solution[built-in or extesion] for more advanced tooltip functionality ?

You can get CSS tooltips but they're not a great deal different to what you normally see (different colours etc). I think you're after a Javascript solution - and you have to be a bit careful there because some scripts available at the moment use nasty old fashioned javascript to do the job. You want something that a progressive enhancement - i.e. it won't mess the page up if Javascript is switched off.

Here's one version - http://www.kryogenix.org/code/browser/nicetitle/ You could change the look of it by changing the background image they use.

Here's another one that Nicole found - http://boxover.swazz.org/

There are others around the place - just Google Tooltips and you'll find them.
