Controlling visibility of marker title

[RoyHB]

I have a standard map with sidebar.  When the user mouses over a sidebar entry I open a control in a fixed position instead of an infoWindow.

I would like to command the marker title attribute to be visible when the mouse is over the associated sidebar entry and be hidden on mouseout of the sidebar.

 I haven't been able to find a way to ask the API to make the title visible or hidden.  Title works fine when mousing over the marker, I just want to make it visible/hidden remotely.

Any hints as to an accessible marker attribute or method that can do this?

You can't. The 'title' is something the browser manages.

I would think you can adapt labels to do what you want
