Making Screen Tips more useful

In the Navigation Pane (Access2007), when you move the cursor over an object
(table, query, etc.), a ScreenTip is displayed which shows the name of the
object ("Query1"). This is a little redundant, since the name of the object
is what you hovered over in the first place. Is there any way to make the
ScreenTip display the description of the object (which can be added using the
object properties)?
 
You open the form in design view, click on menu VIEW - Properties. Click on
that object and scroll down to ScreenTip and type in what you want it to say.
 
That works fine for controls. I want notes on my queries in the navigation
pane. The properties window for objects is a pop up with very limited
choices.
