WPF DataGrid AutoGenerated columns and CellStyle accessing DataTable value

Matt T Heffron asked:

Open original thread
I'm developing a WPF desktop application and I'm trying to have a DataGrid where certain columns have a ToolTip that is from a property on a ViewModel object stored in each "cell" of the DataTable that is the ItemsSource for the DataGrid. I'm AutoGenerating the columns because there are not a fixed number of columns in the data.

I previously asked about the precedence of RowStyle and DataGridColumn.CellStyle (Does DataGrid.RowStyle override DataGridColumn.CellStyle?[^]) and determined that it appears the CellStyle takes precedence.

I can't seem to figure out how, from the XAML of the Style used as the CellStyle, to bind to a property on the actual source object (ViewModel) for the cell.
A DataGridCell doesn't appear to have a path to access to the source object.

Is there a better way to accomplish what I'm attempting?
