Hey Drew,

There was a discussion about this on the Wiki page for pos-tip (back then you suggested filing an enhancement request). The following function, from pos-tip.el, seems to do more or less what you're looking for. Does it? I'm not sure how well it works in Windows.

In any case, it would be nice if this was easily feasible.

Cheers,
Clément.

(defun pos-tip-compute-pixel-position
  (&optional pos window pixel-width pixel-height frame-coordinates dx dy)
  "Return pixel position of POS in WINDOW like (X . Y), which indicates
the absolute or relative coordinates of bottom left corner of the object.

Omitting POS and WINDOW means use current position and selected window,
respectively.

If PIXEL-WIDTH and PIXEL-HEIGHT are given, this function assumes these
values as the size of small window like tooltip which is located around the
object at POS. These values are used to adjust the location in order that
the tooltip won't disappear by sticking out of the display. By referring
the variable `pos-tip-upperside-p' after calling this function, user can
examine whether the tooltip will be located above the specified position.

If FRAME-COORDINATES is omitted or nil, automatically obtain the absolute
coordinates of the top left corner of frame which WINDOW is on. Here,
`top left corner of frame' represents the origin of `window-pixel-edges'
and its coordinates are essential for calculating the return value as
absolute coordinates. If a cons cell like (LEFT . TOP), specifies the
frame absolute location and makes the calculation slightly faster, but can
be used only when it's clear that frame is in the specified position. Users
can get the latest values of frame coordinates for using in the next call
by referring the variable `pos-tip-saved-frame-coordinates' just after
calling this function. Otherwise, FRAME-COORDINATES `relative' means return
pixel coordinates of the object relative to the top left corner of the frame.
This is the same effect as `pos-tip-use-relative-coordinates' is non-nil.

DX specifies horizontal offset in pixel.

DY specifies vertical offset in pixel. This makes the calculations done
without considering the height of object at POS, so the object might be
hidden by the tooltip."
