I suppose I could use the Description to achieve what I want, but really that should be used for search engine stuff and be quite long. Really what I want is to be able to specify the tooltip text in the page that contains the link. I would imagine something like this:
<br><br>[[Main.FirstPage | Start Here "Click here to be taken to the first page of the lesson"]]<br><br>So the page is FirstPage, the link says "Start Here" and the tooltip is the "Click here..." bit. Each serves a different purpose. The page name is site structure, the link text is for returning users who already know what the link does and the tooltip for new users who need a little more info.
