Tooltip in menu items [message #1733386]

I failed to show tooltip on the menu items. What I did is:
1. In application.e4xmi I set Tooltip property of the DirectMenuItem.
2. I also try in code

MHandledMenuItem menuElement = MMenuFactory.INSTANCE.createHandledMenuItem();
menuElement.setTooltip( "Hi, where is my tooltip?" );

Is it possible to show tooltip on menu items. If so I would be grateful for help.
If not maybe you know howto workaround it.
Is the only way to modify

WsmMenuItemRenderer

to use e.g.

CustomMenuItem

instead of

MenuItem

and manully handle setting tootlip?

Right the JavaFX MenuItem does not support tooltips so the renderer does not pass on the information
