I am looking for tooltip plugins for jQuery that would allow for the following type of behavior.

<a href="somewhere.html">
 <span>
  <img src="someimage.jpg" style="display: none;" />
  Here is the tooltip content.
 </span>
 Here is the link to somewhere.
</a>

The behavior that I am hoping for is to hover over "Here is the link to somewhere" and have a tooltip pop up showing the content of the span containing "someimage.jpg" and "Here is the tooltip content".

I would prefer that the tooltip track along with the mouse's movement over the link and that the tooltip's appearace (background color, opacity, border color, etc.) be configurable.

The two most popular tooltips that I have found, "clueTip" and Jörn Zaefferer's "Tooltip" do not seem to fit the bill, unless I am missing something.

Ultimately, the links and images will be dynamically generated.
