Is it possible to access and change the text that appears in the tooltip popup when using the drawing tool?

I'm using the Point drawing tool to to add both a point and text to my map, and would like to alter the text depending on what i'm doing. The documentation for the draw tool mentions being able to change the text, but asks you to click on a broken link for more information.

The Dojo site has some info on the tooltip dijit, but I'm unclear on how to access the default settings in the javascript API.

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks for your patience Robert, but I'm going to have to let this one go. Like finding the ark of the covenant to change a tooltip text. However, I do intend to embark on a WAB developer learning adventure, probably from the ground up. What's your suggestion for the best starting point and sequence - Dojo, Javascript, ESRI JS API, CSS, HTML 5, or some other topics? Many thanks for your help - cob
