Can a C# extension infer a generic type?

Question

I've been doing some searching and been confused with the answers that I find. Pardon my lack of tech jargon.

I'm writing an extension for Mvc.

public static MvcHtmlString FormTextBoxFor<TModel, TProperty>( this HtmlHelper<TModel> helper, Expression<Func<TModel, TProperty>> expression)
{
    var attr = expression.GetAttribute<TModel, TProperty, HtmlPropertyAttribute>();

    return helper.TextBoxFor(expression, new { placeholder = attr.Value });
}

public static T GetAttribute<TModel, TProperty, T>(this Expression<Func<TModel, TProperty>> expression)
            where T : Attribute
        {
            var memberExpression = expression.Body as MemberExpression;
            if (memberExpression == null)
                throw new InvalidOperationException("Expression must be a member expression");

            return memberExpression.Member.GetAttribute<T>();
        }

What I'm wondering is if I can shortcut passing TModel and TProperty into my second extension because the parameter is already contains that information.

Essentially I want to turn this

expression.GetAttribute<TModel, TProperty, HtmlPropertyAttribute>();

into this

expression.GetAttribute<HtmlPropertyAttribute>();
