Better data tip for Polar graph

Is there any way to make Matlab give polar coordinates when placing a data tip on a graph instead of Cartesian?
And really, why on earth does Matlab not do that in the first place?

At the end of the documentation of datacursormode you will find example on how to customze the text of the tip.

% This function changes data tips from cartessian to polar coords
function polar_datacursormode
dcm_obj = datacursormode(gcf); set(dcm_obj,'UpdateFcn',@myupdatefcn)
function txt = myupdatefcn(empt,event_obj) % Customizes text of data tips
pos = get(event_obj,'Position');
R = sqrt(pos(1)^2 + pos(2)^2);
Theta = atand(pos(2)/pos(1));
if Theta < 0 Theta = Theta + 360; end
txt = {['R: ' num2str®], ... ['Theta: ' num2str(Theta)]};
