JQuery / Microsoft Templating and Linking: Did they ever make these work together?

Question

Scott Guthrie's blog about how they intended to do it.

{{link fieldname}}

This appears to blow up:

${link fieldname}

Any ideas?

Currently, we are working on an extension of the data linking proposal to support declarative data linking.

It's a planned extension/feature, but it's not in the first go-around.
