How to add tooltip for dropdown list items in Html.DropdownListFor MVC

I need to show tool tip for the values of the dropdown list items when using,

@Html.DropDownListFor(n => n.SomeProp, new SelectList(Source, "Id", "Name"));

Here source refers to a IEnumerable collection.

I believe we don't have title property here in MVC as compared to webforms.. Can you pls suggest?

Little late on the response, but i'll throw my two cents in here just in case it could help answer it for someone else:

You should be able to pass the title property as an HTML attribute:

@Html.DropDownListFor(n=>n.SomeProp,
    new SelectList(Source, "Id", "Name"),new { @Title = "Tooltip here" })
