What you are saying is that the tooltip is inadequate. Your other option would 
be to change the tooltip. I have no opinion on the best approach.

I believe that there have been discussions questioning the appropriateness of 
using name and description for values which change but I was not paying 
attention. Perhaps Marc has a view on this.

Could you implement AtkValue for information such as time elapsed and 
description would identify the units.

I am not sure whether a similar approach would work for track information.
