Description

At the moment, if we want to use a Resource (to invoke it's properties for example) we need a helper Use-Object to provide it. It would be more straightforward if we could just load it by path and bind it to a variable via data-sly-use:

<sly data-sly-use.myRes="${'some/path'}">${myRes.title}</sly>
