If I understand correctly, what you want is a tooltip:

One possibility is to add appropriate tooltips to controls on the UI. A tooltip is a small balloon that appears when you hover over the control for a while.

Tooltips can be added in the UIR editor:

Alternatively they can be added programmatically with

SetCtrlAttribute (panelHandle, controlID, ATTR_TOOLTIP_TEXT, "Sample tooltip");

In both cases you are limited to single- or multiline texts; if you want to add some graphical element you should create your own panel and display it. You should add a timer to discard the panel after a few seconds. If you load the panel as a child of the original one you may customize "tooltip" appearance, e.g. hide the titlebar and set an outline border.
