JQuery - using .on with element insertion

Question

I have a function which creates a tooltip for specific objects. Currently, I am running a tooltip function after ajax insertions to create and append the new tooltip objects. I am curious if there is a way to use .on() to auto-run the tooltip function on insertion, rather than manually running it.

For instance:

 $('[title]').on('inserted', function(){
     tooltip(this);
 });

I did some reading and it looks like custom triggers might be the way to go, but I'd love if it something like this existed :)

Here's the pseudo code as per request.

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('body').on('added','*',function() {
        console.log($(this),'has been added');
    });
    $('body').append('<div>This is the first div</div>');
});

(function($) {
    fncs = {
        append:$.fn.append,
        appendTo:$.fn.appendTo
        // etc.
    }
    // we're assigning the original functions in this
    // object to be executed (applied) later
    $.fn.append = function() {
        fncs.append.apply(this,arguments);
        $(this).children().last().trigger('added');
        return $(this);
    }
    $.fn.appendTo = function() {
        fncs.appendTo.apply(this,arguments);
        return $(this);
        // no need to trigger because this function calls the one
        // above for some reason, and it's taking care of the
        // triggering the right element(s I think)
    }
})(jQuery);
