@jakubfijalkowski, thanks for your code. Is there a way to allow something like this?
{ns:Loc {Binding ViewModelProperty}}

@lszczygielek If my memory is not mistaken, that is possible with some changes to the code (i.e. you need to handle the binding somewhat yourself). Unfortunately, I haven't touched it in years and won't be able to help what needs to be changed.
