Such a use case would not necessarily ignore user settings. It could be 
a canvas,
where tooltip should be shown over specific areas/objects; i.e. a thing 
like container
widget with children which are not widgets. Note that it's not the same as
area-specific widget tooltips, e.g. one may want to have tooltip timeout
be triggered only when cursor is over some object but not when it's over
blank space.
