I’d like to add a mouseover hint display to my sidebar items but don’t know how to get access to the actual dom element. I see the following structure in the dom:

Hello,

You can add a hint by using CSS.
Please, check the following sample:

Here you can find a tutorial about creating hint:

We have discovered that for sidebar the following works for setting tooltips where xxx is the id
mysidebar.t.xxx.item.title=“Tooltip text here”
Would be nice if setItemToolTip worked in sidebar like toolbar, but this is a simple workaround without heaps of extra code
Cheers

In case of sidebar you can define your own HTML template and define your own rules how properties of data object can be used in the result HTML code.
