Indeed, you can see a side discussion at
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2020-11/msg00885.html
where we discussed highlighting the completion candidate
the same way whether the mouse pointer hovered over it,
or the cursor moved to its buffer position.

That discussion also mentions another way to display
help-text using cursor-sensor-mode, i.e. after enabling it,
cursor-sensor-functions can detect when the cursor enters
the help-text property, then display it in the echo area.

This looks like the 5th possible way to implement this using eldoc,
in addition to tooltips, post-command-hook, help-at-pt, cursor-sensor-mode.

help-at-pt has an option to ignore verbose help-echo in dired.
post-command-hook can be enabled locally only in org-mode buffers.
I don't know how to do the same in eldoc.

You mean to activate is to display their help-echo?
