The main thing here is consistency - we should do whatever we do for values, functions, methods, types, union cases, record fields.

My understanding from the deep code review we did is that we add back ticks for tool tips in these cases, so we should make this case consistent and then deal with alternative choices systematically in a separate issue

I’d push back on that - I think that tooltip formatting looks perfectly fine as is. Double backticks in the tooltip would be more visual noise (but it would align with the code written, I’ll grant you that).
