Properties are considered simple meta data. It is not forseen to
render them.

You have several options:

 * make your objects folderish ZInstances and use DTML objects
   as complex property replacements.

   You will loose property defaults defined by the class

 * use a Python Script or External Method to explicitly convert
   your property string value into a DocumentTemplate
