dbc.Select() should allow individual style options

[flyingcujo]

Allowing the ability to allow style options in dbc.Select components would allow similar formatting features allowed by dbc.Dropdownmenuitem() - i.e. set active, format font color, etc - without the need to handle callbacks for each item listed.

Hey @flyingcujo

Thanks for the suggestion, but it's actually not possible because the select that gets rendered is a native browser form element rather than styled HTML.

One thing we would plausibly add is support for option groups, which would allow you to have headed sections in the select. But working out how to support that with the current interface would be non-trivial.

How trivial would it be including the title option attribute as supported by dcc.dropdown?
Or maybe supplying dbc.dropdown would be easier?

Hey @MM-Lehmann

Looks like it's fairly straightforward to support this, adding it in #389

Adding title to each option is now possible as of version 0.10.2. As mentioned earlier, the amount of additional styling we can do is very limited. After thinking a bit about option groups I've decided not to prioritise it, hence I will close this issue for now.
