Describe the Feature you'd like

I would like to be able to access a Base's property's via a Bind Target. While Base properties are similar to YAML frontmatter, they're not quite the same - especially with Base formula properties.

I imagine it would be a different Storage type, and it would be nice to be able to target either a specific cell (column and row) or the entire column. When you target a column, return a type that allows you to set the display name, get/set the value of a specific cell by passing in the file/row, and get/set the formula. If you target the specific cell and the column is a formula property, then you shouldn't be able to set it via the meta bind.

Alternatives

Using the YAML frontmatter directly can work, but depending on what you're doing might require significant duplicative effort between dealing with the Base and the Meta-bind code. Base formulas can also be easier to use in some cases than meta-bind formulas.
