Add tooltips to listbox items

Post by Stringweasel »

What
Add the ability to define individual tooltips to individual listbox items.
Suggestion
Add a field `tooltips` thats an LocalisedString[].

Would be nice that when the array supplied is shorter or longer than `items`, or `items` change afterwards, that excess tooltips are just ignored/discarded. And not cause a crash.

Yes please. This is already possible for dropdowns in mod settings, but would be nice to have it ingame too :D
