I'm not sure that your example is an alternative to the image, unless the
image *really* contains all that text. However, if you really do have a
long description, then the longdesc attribute is what you want:
http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/struct/objects.html#adef-long
desc-IMG

is the reference:

<a href="somepage.asp" longdesc="Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah">Menu text</a>

I tried this and no "tool tip" came up (PC_ie5.0). And this example is
relevant to my original question. The nav links are in fact text, at the
moment, with title= attributes.
