How to implement this better?

You could try using the figure's setTooltip method. However, this tooltip
would always appear, even in situation when then SelectionTool is not
active, and clicking on the handle wouldn't cause a drag.

Another way would be to use showFreedback(Request), where the request is
REQ_SELECTION or REQ_SELECTION_HOVER. These feedback requests are only sent
when the SelectionTool is active. Your EditPart would get these requests
any time the mouse is over the editpart, so you would have to look at the
request's mouse location and compare it to each of the handles. Since some
areas of the handle are outside the bounds of the editpart's primary figure,
you could register the handles themselves as part of the editpart's visuals.

Actually, ignore that part, it would break normal targeting during drag
operations.
