Try experimenting a bit more -- if you only have this in a score,
it won't work:

{
\balloonGrobText #'note #' (-4 . -4) \markup { "I'm a note" }
}

Look at the original example, and try commenting out portions of
the example.  Find the smallest possible example that still
creates the "I'm a note" balloon.

Once you've done that, it should be easier to figure out how to
adapt it for rests.
