Please add how to add a bindable property to an existing MAUI control

[SmartmanApps]

Type of issue

Missing information

Description

This is in regards to MAUI Issue 6748 where we have been told that we can use a handler to add a property, such as BackgroundColorProperty, to a MAUI ToolbarItem using a handler, but have been given no instructions on how to do it, nor can I find anything in this documentation about how to do it. That Issue is now 2 years old and MAUI still doesn't have any way to bind things in a ToolbarItem (text, colors, etc.). This documentation also does not cover how to add a property to an existing MAUI Control. i.e. a workaround for the above issue. Please provide instructions on how to do that.
