Non-binding handler properties should also follow the path like binding properties do

[Brow71189]

For bindings, the declarative engine follows the "dotted path" of handler properties. Best example is using a PropertyModel where you bind to model.value. It would be great if this also worked for general handler properties that you are not binding to.

Do you have a specific example of a widget and property specifier where this would be needed? Can you just use "@binding(path.to.property)"?

For buttons with icons, I use a "IconManager" class. So the "path" to the icons would be UIHandler.IconManager.button_icon. Yes I am using @binding(IconManager.button_icon) and it works fine. I just thought it might be nicer to not use bindings where you don't need their actual functionality.
But it is not really an important change since binding works just fine.
