No, that tooltip image is part of the accessibility structure.

I don't know about that.  I don't think postscript has anything to do with the accessibility structure in a PDF.  As far as I know, the only way to automate adding accessibility info is through the conversion software, with a custom plug-in, or with a 3rd party library.  I don't know of any tools that will automatically do this for you (other that the conversion to PDF).  But that doesn't mean they aren't out there.  Do a goolge search on PDF accessibility tools.
