I did see after I posted this the addOn that I believe you are talking about. It is slightly different though in that it tells you that you have acquired a new item that has a trait you can research. What I want is when the mouse hovers over an item, how the item tooltip window appears, and at a quick glance you would be able to see whether it is a trait that is already known. I might take a look at the other one though and deconstruct it because it would be my first addOn and you are right that it would be a good way to learn.
So I am assuming from some of the other addOns I have flipped through that you can modify standard windows. I'll have to pull some apart and see how they do it then.
EDIT: Just searched the addOns for crafting and found the one you mentioned. So I see someone else did have the idea haha, but I will still attempt to make it myself and again flip through the files on how he created his to learn.
