Ant property with multiple values each on separate line

Question

I have a property that has to contain long list of strings and to improve readability I would like to define each value (that are quite long) in separate line, something like:

<property name="items" separator=",">
   <item>A</item>
   <item>B</item>
</property>

as equivalent to

<property name="items" value="A,B" />

Or something similar to <path> + <pathconvert> but not expanding paths.

Is it possible ?

Turns out there are string resources and a generic resource container:

<resources id="items">
  <string>A</string>
  <string>B</string>
</resources>
<pathconvert property="items" refid="items" pathsep="," />
