I would like to specify custom contour labels in Tooltips for contour plot.
 
ContourLabels has a form {f, g} where f gives an explicit displayed label,
and g gives a Tooltip for each complete contour. But I can't make this form
work and the Help has no explicit example of this form.
 
Here is an example of what I would like to do:
 
ContourPlot[Sin[x y] == 1/2, {x, 0, \[Pi]}, {y, 0, \[Pi]},
 ContourLabels ->
  {Function[{x, y, z}, Text["", {x, y}]],
   Function[{x, y, z}, Text["My Label"]]}
 ]  
 
No tooltips on the contours. I've tried a number of variations but nothing
works. Neither does it work on a regular ContourPlot.
 
ContourPlot[Sin[x y], {x, 0, \[Pi]}, {y, 0, \[Pi]},
 Contours -> 5,
 ContourLabels ->
  {Function[{x, y, z}, Text["", {x, y}]],
   Function[{x, y, z}, Tooltip["My Label"]]}
 ]  
 
Does anyone know how to do this?
