Comment:

 Just to give you a more complete answer:

 The 'Title' field was intentionally removed from the wpLink modal in
 #28206 largely because it was often confused with the actual link text
 itself.

 In recent years, we've begun to actively discourage the use of title
 attributes in links as they are largely useless outside of providing the
 "hover tooltip" many visual users enjoy, and more importantly, they don't
 promote good accessibility.

 If you'd like to continue using title attributes in links, you can add
 them manually using the Text mode in the editor.
