I find TooltipArea to be cumbersome and would like to implement a Modifier.tooltip(String) for when I just want to add a simple textual tooltip to an element. But I can’t just write Box in a modifier. How would I go about implementing this?

Take a look at HoverableElementArea here. Is that something like what you are looking for? Doesn't really do much on Android since there is no mouse pointer but it works on Desktop and web.

Working on this actually (not directly M.tooltip(String) but close )👀

Hmm, interesting idea. I could put a TooltipHost somewhere high in the hierarchy, and Modifier.tooltip could communicate with it.
