Is there a way to specify the xlink:title attribute in the generated SVG?

Question

Is there any way in the PUML file to specify a title for the SVG link? This shows up as a tooltip in browsers when you hover over the item in the diagram. I tried specifying the title after the link ([[link title]]), but this didn't work for me (either from the API or from the command-line- same version).

Thanks. Still loving PlantUML!

You can use the following syntax:

@startuml
Bob -> Alice : hello [[http://www.google.com{this is a tooltip} title]]
@enduml

Result:

Is this what you are expecting ?
