I doesn't seem to find where hints like this are listed in the uimain.xml file.

In en-language.txt, you will find a line
17119 "Left click to place building foundation."
If you replace it with
17119 " "
The yellow tool tip will not show up. You can do this for all the other yellow tool tips although this building foundations one is the only one I can think of off the top of my head.
However, I don't know how one would turn these "yellow tool tips" into regular tool tips which look a lot nicer and are more out of the way. I did a search for the line number and the text but the only UI files that came up were uimain and uieditormenu but I can't find anything in either that controls these "yellow tool tips". My guess is that it is in UI main but I just can't find it. I'm skeptical that something like this would be hard coded.

Yep, you're truly right. Its hard-coded in either dll's or perhaps the game executable so you can't turn it into a regular hint or fiddle with colours. At first I thought I'd make that bigger and change yellow to something brighter - white for example. But whatever.
