I see.

It might be a good idea then to also extend it to reference a specific
canvas (or level up kind of like window_name and patch_name and likely
others do), so you could show a tip from a subpatch on the parent patch.
E.g.
tip 1 0 foo (0 would refer to this canvas)
tip 1 2 foo (2 would be two levels above this one)
