18 hours ago comment added azerbajdzan @Domes I see... But such documentation is useless. You have to click first on Details and Options then on List of all options to even be able to see it there. But how are you supposed to find it if you do not know the name CoordinatesToolOptions in the first place and that it has any connection with displaying tooltips? All you can read there is "CoordinatesToolOptions Automatic detailed behavior of the coordinates tool". Not very informative description. If it were in section Options with some given examples then it would be a good documentation.
18 hours ago comment added Domen @azerbajdzan, not sure which version of the documentation you are looking at, but CoordinatesToolOptions is mentioned in ParametricPlot under List of all options.
yesterday comment added tad I have two interpolating functions from NDSolve, one for x(t), the other for y(t). So I'd like to invert the combination {x(t), y(t)} to get t. E.g., because x(t) on its own oscillates so the inverse of just x(t) can have multiple solutions. (There can be cases where inverting {x,y} is not unique -- where the curve crosses itself. But less often than when inverting x alone is not unique).
yesterday comment added azerbajdzan @tad InverseFunction works with InterpolatingFunction if needed.
yesterday comment added tad Good discovery of CoordinatesToolOptions! This workaround produces what I'm after. Though it requires inverting {x,y} values to determine the parameter t. My application involves interpolating functions from NDSolve, so the inversion is more complicated, e.g., using FindRoot.
yesterday comment added David Keith I think this is a good application for a resource function.

yesterday comment added azerbajdzan @Domen Better said it is not well documented. You will not find it within documentation of ParametricPlot. So if you do not know something like CoordinatesToolOptions exists then there is no chance that you would find it in documentation. I only found "CoordinatesToolOptions" in full form of output.
yesterday comment added Domen ParametricPlot[{Cos[t], Sin[2 t]}, {t, 0, 2 Pi}, CoordinatesToolOptions -> {"DisplayFunction" -> fu}] And it is also documented: CoordinatesToolOptions
