I think a log is an excellent idea. So basically all (command) tool tip output goes to ~/Library/Logs/ with a date stamp or similar, preferably with some newline escaping so a "repeat last tool tip" command would just tail -n1 «log», and similarly for a copy.
If it is implemented as a log the one who implements it should not forget log-rotation. I guess a new log-file for every day would be best (old one shouldn't be deleted - maybe there should be an option how long those files should "live").
I agree in some sense. To do a log-file-like system would be nice.
Maybe better would be to have a log file which holds, let's say, up to ten tool tip contents. If the 11th will append, the first in the file will be deleted.
I mean, it isn't worth to have all contents of a tool tips at your hard disk. It is more or less a temporary situation like Luke mentioned. This also occurred to me that a tool tip poped up but I couldn't read it because I moved my mouse.
