0.1.3

I think its MonkeyQuest that does this...maybe its another mod. This would be very similar to what Mendeleev/Periodic Table does with tradeskill info. If it sounds interesting maybe Tekkub or Moonwolf would give some advice.

Thanks!
Done -- I just uploaded 0.1.3, which can add objectives (and their completion status) to item and mob tooltips.

(And let me just say that it was a real pain finding out how to tinker with existing item tooltips. There wasn't a page out there that Google could find that said "So, you want to add things to inventory tooltips!" I fell back on reading the source for numerous other addons until I worked out what they were doing. After I got the mob tooltip working, I was expecting it to be a simple matter of catching an event, but no...)
