Currently the only way to access non-Python installed properties is
with either the props accessor or by using the get_property() method.
This feature has been requested before and I've wanted it as well. I
don't see why we shouldn't add it since both vala and gjs have it.

I've logged a ticket for tracking the feature request. Patches are
always welcome:
