What are World Object Tooltips?

Question

Within the option settings for Starcraft 2, there is an checkbox labelled "Display World Object Tooltips."

You see this setting from Menu -> Options -> Gameplay.

I don't have the game here, so I can't verify it right now, but I'm pretty sure those are tooltips appearing on aesthetics elements and props of the landscape, like trees or some of the indigenous creatures like the flying shark on Cloud Kingdom. Xel'naga, minerals and vespene gas might also be concerned by those tooltips, provinding a short description for them. — Anto, May 14, 2012 at 11:33

I'm concluding that the option only applies to map elements which are interactive in some form.

minerals and gas geysers are not an important part of the game.
