I'm not sure what you want to achieve here. The DirectoryResource is
purely a slightly more general form of the directory resources that Grok
makes available through the static attribute - the static attribute on a
view class is nothing more than a lookup for such a *particular"
directoryresource.

I guess, if that's what you want, you could mimic how the static
attribute is put on the view class for whatever
attribute-providing-access-to-a-specific-directoryresource.
