Doing that independent of rendering engine wouldn't be very durable, the
tests using the result wouldn't be protected against display engine bugs
and changes in behavior. And there are fine details like `line-prefix'
values priorities (what if we have several such properties on one line?)
that I think only expressed at C level.

There was a discussion a little while ago about generalizing
`x-show-tip' so it could be used to render popups of this kind. It's a
nice idea, although it would benefit only the users of future Emacs
releases.
