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.

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.
