[SMARTY] Modifiers on embedded variables

Hi All,

Is there any way to use modifiers on embedded variables using backticks?
For example, I need to escape quotes for the "text" parameter of a {popup}
tag.  There is static text combined with smarty variables inside the text
parameter, 

{popup text="<strong>`$bin.item_name`</strong><br/>`$bin.item_category`"
textsize="2" width="400"} 


What I want is something like this:

{popup
text="<strong>`$bin.item_name|escape:"quotes"`</strong><br/>`$bin.item_categ
ory|escape:"quotes"`"}


I've had to resort to the following:


{assign var="popdesc"
value="<strong>`$bin.item_name`</strong><br/>`$bin.item_category`"}

{popup text=$popdesc|escape:"string"}



This works fine for this application. However, I've run across similar
situations where using {assign} was not appropriate, and I've had to resort
to formatting the string in the business logic :(.  Is there any way to use
modifiers on `backticked` variables that I'm missing?


Thanks!
