set "title" attribute for A tag, generated with txp:link_to_home

I didn’t found a way to do this and it’s probably would go to feature request, if not implemented yet.
Passing unresolved attributes to generated tag AS IS seems obvious behaviour for Container Tag.

You need a title for a link that is self-explanatory? It’s this part that really puzzles me though: “Passing unresolved attributes…” ?

Manual: site_url and sitename.

<a href="<txp:site_url />"><txp:sitename /></a>

Unresolved means not parsed. For example:

[txp:link_to_home title=“My Homepage” accesskey=“h”]Home[/txp:link_to_home]
currently renders to
[a href=“http://mytpsite.exe/”]Home[/a]
but would be rendered to
[a href=“http://mytpsite.exe/” title=“My Homepage” accesskey=“h”]Home[/a]

I think last approach is reasonable, it just gives more flexibility.
Thanks for your workaround, but it’s just a workaround for particular case, not the solution.

Well, that’s what those tags are there for. Why extend the other tag unnecessarily?

it’s not about extension (not much extension needed I belive), mary, it’s about what is reasonable.
what this tag is for then?
you can substitute this tag, but can you substitute all other Container Tags?
this would make developer’s life much easier, if Container Tags would just pass by, not discard any unparsed attributes.
doesn’t it make sense?
