Something like:
+-------------------+
| No Item selected | < this is your title comment mentioned above
| Item 1 |
| Item 2 |
| Item 3 |
+-------------------+
Giving:
+-------------------+
| This is Item one's|
| comment/tooltip |
| Item 2 |
| Item 3 |
+-------------------+
and
+-------------------+
| Item 1 |
| This is Item two's|
| comment/tooltip |
| Item 3 |
+-------------------+
Or am I misinterpreting?
