[ZPT] Using variables in path expressions

[Brent M Hendricks]

Is there a way to get variable substitutions in path expressions the
way we have them in string expressions?

Here's a simple use case:

I'm using tal:repeat to iterate over a function that returns the ids
of several objects of interest in a subfolder.  I'd like to be able to
do something like:

<div tal:repeat="item here/queryIds">
  <span tal:content="here/subfolder/${item/id}/method" />
</div>

This doesn't seem to work in the current release.  Would it be easy to
add this functionaliy?  Or is there a better way to do what I'm trying
to do?
