The development version has balloon help: 
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.1/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Balloon-help.html#Balloon%
20help
which his sounds like what you wanted for a single notehead.
  I think that using this feature as it stands would require the two notes be 
marked separately if there are two of them that you want to mark. Otherwise, 
if using balloon help as it is, you could see if it is acceptable to just 
mark the first.
