As far as I know X11 doesn't have any concept of tooltips, so every UI
programmer is obliged to roll his/her own. Therefore there's no
standard for what they're called, or whether they have a separate
background resource at all. Applications written with a particular
toolkit sush as Gtk may be different - I don't know.
If you're desperate to find the resources for a given app, you can run
"strings" on the executable and try to guess what's what. I've had
occasional, limited success with that strategy.
