 In the !MapGuide layer definition there is the ability to specify the URL
 for a feature with the "Url" element.  Sometimes the URL can be non-
 descript, unwieldy, long, cryptic, or all of the previous.  In the basic
 layout, an anchor tag (e.g., <a
 href="!http://SomeCrypticURL">Description</a>) can be put there and it
 will display the descriptive text in the tool tip. For Fusion, the tooltip
 stops showing up altogether.

 To reproduce:
  1.  Load the standard Sheboygan sample package
 (http://download.osgeo.org/mapguide/releases/2.0.0/samples/Sheboygan.mgp)
  1. Load the package attached to this ticket; it will modify the Sheboygan
 Parcels layer so that it has a URL specified using an anchor tag.
  1. Open one of the flexible web layouts.  The URL will have the form:
 !http://localhost:8008/mapguide/fusion/templates/mapguide/slate/index.html?ApplicationDefinition=Library%3a%2f%2fSamples%2fSheboygan%2fFlexibleLayouts%2fSlate.ApplicationDefinition
  1. Zoom in until the parcel layer shows up.
 Float the mouse over a parcel layer and note that no tooltip shows up
 anymore.

 To see how the basic viewer works, try the above but open the basic
 layout.  The URL will have the form:
 !http://localhost:8008/mapguide/mapviewerajax/?WEBLAYOUT=Library%3a%2f%2fSamples%2fSheboygan%2fLayouts%2fSheboyganPhp.WebLayout&LOCALE=en

 Sorry, but I haven't investigated how the basic layout accomplishes the
 above feat.
