x:Bind in ControlTemplate

[Avid29]

What would you like to be added:

x:Bind in ControlTemplates with a path of the TargetType of the ControlTemplate

Why is this needed:

This is part of UWP as of 17763. It allows compile time binding in-place of TemplateBinding and binding the DataContext without using a DataTemplate and loosing the VisualStates.

For which Platform:

• [x] iOS
• [x] Android
• [x] WebAssembly
• [x] WebAssembly renderers for Xamarin.Forms
• [x] macOS
• [x] Skia
  • [x] WPF
  • [x] GTK (Linux)
  • [x] Tizen
• [x] Windows
• [ ] Build tasks
• [ ] Solution Templates
