reference request - Spaces with the thin tetrahedra property

I read a comment about the $delta$-thin tetrahedra property of a space.
It basically means, that if you choose any four points in this space, connect them by geodesics, and fill each triangle with a minimal filling (?). Then any point on one of the faces has distance at most $delta$ to a point on one of the other faces.



For example, I think, that $mathbb{R}^2,mathbb{H}^n$ have this property and $mathbb{R}^3$ has not. So it seems to be a nice generalization of a $delta$-hyperbolic space. Has somebody a reference for this "thin tetrahedra property"?



Furthermore I was wondering which properties of Gromov-hyperbolic spaces might have analogues in this setting:



1) Is there some analogue of the Gromov product?



2) Which spaces can be the asympotic cone of a space with the $delta$-thin tetrahedra property?



3) Which spaces have the $0$-thin tetrahedra property ?
