How to query a view's column's extended properties from the underlying source table?

Viewed 758

I am looking for a way to query the 'MS_Description' extended property values of table columns that are returned in a view, not the extended property values on the view's columns itself.

I can get the view schema (How to list the source table name of columns in a VIEW (SQL Server 2005)) which returns view columns used in a view (although I only want columns that are returned).

And I can get extended properties: Select Extended Property from SQL Server tables

But I haven't worked out exactly how to marry the 2. But first, is there a built-in view or function that will automatically do this? I am using SQL 2014.

Or has anyone already written this query?
