It's possible to use a label indirect tag binding to show data from a memory dataset tag?

I have simple dataset with on string column and want to retrieve this strings by line position in a Label component.

Doing this direct from tag binding gives the following error:

Use syntax something like this:  
`toDataset(tag("Static Text" + {Property Reference}))[row, col]`  
Which assembled should look like this in a ‘real’ binding:  
`toDataset(tag("Motors/Motor " + {Root Container.Motor Index} + "/States"))[0, 0]`

The toDataset function is not always needed, but the result object from the tag() function doesn’t always accept the dataset row/col addressing, so you need to force it into a dataset object.

Works like a charm.

Thank You.
