How to get Tooltip for selected item in DropDownListfor?

Question

I couldnt find an attribute "title" for DropdownListFor and was wondering how to do the same for just the selected item in the dropdownlistFor. My code is

               @Html.DropDownListFor(m => m.objDetails.CategoryId, new SelectList(Model.objDetails.Categories, "CategoryId", "CategoryName"),  new { id = "cboCategory", style = "width:340px;"} )
