Description

Especially if a menu item is disabled, a tooltip explanation would be very helpful for users.

Note: I can make this work currently by casting my tooltip with type any and setting it as the text prop.

Research direction
Investigate the MenuItem component in Blueprint's source (likely under packages/core/src/components/menu/). Look at existing Tooltip component usage and how it's applied to other interactive elements. Review the issue comments for any proposed API. The user mentions a workaround using type casting, suggesting the desired behavior is to pass a tooltip prop. Check if there are any recent discussions or PRs referencing this issue.
