Steps To Reproduce
Additional Information

Currently my workaround is to assign a global variable to hold my new tooltips, and I can get the original text via getText(configFile >> "mydialogconfig" >> "controls" >> "myButton" >> "tooltip") but this is cumbersome.

Just to confirm, there is tvTooltip command, so obviously someone thought it was useful to have a getter. If not for anything else, do it for the sake of consistency!
