@HPBEME
I have a few views for what I use. Artist or album or anything else. It is a tedious job but the result are good. Some of my tooltips are still WiP and I'm still trying to find ways to show them, but it's hard when you hit this limitation of tooltips.
Here are some previews.

I would love to add band members as you have in your tooltip, but I imagine you scraped all that manually. I doubt I will live long enough to undertake that for my library! The amount of time I have spent gathering album reviews, artist biographies, and high quality album art is already ridiculous.
If you have an automated process for gathering up all that info, I would love to hear about it.

Those look great! But... same comment as above - unless there is an automated way to scoop up all this info, I will have to make do with what I have I think.

You should look into MCUtils. It can get all that stuff for you.
HPBEME:
I downloaded MCUtils a year or two ago, but was intimidated by how complicated it seemed to get it up and running.
Working on my Dream in Blue skin update is my main priority anyway, and I barely have the time and energy to do that. I have two more skins I want to develop after that too (but one of those is mostly done). It is taking forever to complete because I'm now also incorporating custom icons into the skins. And each skin is not just 1 skin, but 8 to 12, since I create many variations with numerous alternate images - this increases the workload substantially. Hah well... nobody's fault of mine.
Maybe after all that (like next year sometime :o) I will dive into MCUtills.

A tooltip for a tag/field with an Edit Type of Large Value, i.e.Lyrics, will only appear while the mouse is hovering in that field/tag in a list; but if you move the mouse to another line/track in that list the tooltip will change to showing the contents of that field. Since Tooltips are dependent on the position of the mouse adding scrollbars to them would be a waste of time and money because nobody would be able to use that scrollbar.
However there is a possible alternative - modify one of the existing TrackInfo Plugins to display the Large Value fields you want/need.
Or if it's a single Large Value tag/field you want to see open that tag in the modern tag window, unless you give the focus to some other part of the window that tag will remain open to display the contents of the currently playing track.
