highlighting

I recall seeing a web site that when you highlighted/selected text on their page, it produced a small balloon just to the upper right, which was clickable and would perform some action when clicked. I have an application where this type of interface would be appropriate for my users. But... I haven't any idea what to call this widget nor where to start from scratch.

Is there such a thing as an "elisp bundle" for TextMate?

as seen on Stack Overflow - Search for 'Stack Overflow'
I started using Code Collector Pro to organise and save my Emacs codes, and this software requires TextMate bundles for syntax highlighting. They have a lisp bundle, but not an elisp bundle, at least not that I can see. I would think that the syntax highlighting would work under the lisp bundle, but… >>> More
