Subject: Access value of macrodef attribute dynamically?

Hi everyone,

Is there any way to access the value of a macrodef attribute
dynamically with a property value?
e.g.
<macrodef name=3D"whatever">
    <attribute name=3D"typeA"/>
    <attribute name=3D"typeB"/>
=85

If I have a property named "type" containing "A" or "B", can I get the
value of the corresponding attribute? Something like @{type${type}},
but that of course doesn't work. I can't seem to find any information
on nesting like this with macrodef attributes (only on nesting
properties).

Thanks,
Derek
