Several UI related properties (Tooltip, ApplicationArea, ...) are part of page objects only, forcing developers to maintain / duplicate these properties on the entity card page, the entity list page(s), ... It would be beneficial if these properties would be available at table / field level, so page objects can inherit the property (similar to how captions have been implemented).

Examples:
- Allowing specification of 'Tooltip' property on a table field would allow developer to specify tooltip only once and allow all pages containing the field to inherit the 'Tooltip' table field property (when not specified on page field controls)
- When a user 'designs' a page by adding new table fields, tooltips would be immediately available.
- Provide platform support to retrieve the table field tooltip via 'Rec.Tooltip(FieldNo)' (similar to Rec.Fieldcaption()). This would allow developers to reuse tooltip definitions (usefull on page field controls with sourceExpression = RecordVar.Field).

- Allowing specification of 'ApplicationArea' property on a table field would allow developer to specify ApplicationArea only once and allow all pages containing the field to inherit the 'ApplicationArea' table field property (when not specified on page field controls)
- When a user 'designs' a page by adding new table fields, ApplicationArea would be immediately available.

I couldn't agree more! Having to copy and paste ToolTips is so tedious and prone to errors/drift.
