That could be annoying in some modes that have a lot of these
help-echo properties.  For example, in Dired you will see a lot of
traffic in the echo-area if the help-echo text at point will be
displayed there, because point generally moves there between file
names, each of which has a help-echo on it.

So maybe "reusing" help-echo that way is not the best alternative.
