Is possible to bind component properties to zoom level of view?  
For example checking zoom level if it higher than 120% and hide/show an component.

Unfortunately there is really no good way to determine zoom of a browser as each implements zoom in their own way, largely unknown the page it’s rendering. In some cases you can derive a likely zoom level through various tricks (e.g., inject an image of known size and resolution/dpi, and then try and calculate if the browser rendered it to the same specifications), but none that are ideal.

We’ll revisit zoom detection and hopefully come up with a solution that suits the browsers we are targeting, but it’s not there at the moment due to the challenges mentioned.
