v16.9.0: p-megaMenu title property of each item in the [model]="items" does not work

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Hover with the mouse on the any p-megaMenu item

Tooltip title should be appearing. This had worked in the PrimeNG 15.2.0 (confirmed) which I've used in the development and production environment.

Hi,

You can use itemTemplate to customize the menu item as you wish. Besides, I've checked the v14 and the title is missing as you mentioned but it only used in anchors to append HTML attribute of title, it wasn't a visible thing. Title attribute removed from the anchors with the accessibility update since it was redundant in the anchor.

I generate megamenu items fully in the typescript file - items array bound to the [model] input of p-megaMenu, I won't use pTemplate="item". Not sure why did you guys think it was redundant in the anchor.

That was the only way to show some kind of tooltip in the p-megaMenu for each item.

[email protected] - title tooltip:

At the risk of being a "me too" post...

I ran into this issue as well during a recent upgrade from a 15.x version the 17.x release. I also have a menu configured completely in the .ts file which has title defined for certain items. I am using PanelMenu, but it is consistent with the other menu components.

I also confirmed with the stackblitz example from the documentation page, adding a title to the configuration does not have any effect on the final output..

What is interesting is that I see in the default itemTemplate defined in panelmenu.ts there is a provision for setting it:

[attr.title]="getItemProp(processedItem, 'title')"

However in the actual HTML that is rendered it just doesn't include this attribute 🤷‍♂️
