How do I bind touch manipulation to a UIElement property on Windows Phone 7?

Question

I would like to have a property of a UIElement be modified when the user swipes vertically on the screen in Windows Phone 7. I can see how to do it using the OnManipulationDelta override but it seems like that should be a Xaml binding of some sort that would accomplish it in mark-up.

Can you bind properties to touch manipulations?
