Setting action directly on a Ember.View

Is there a way to set action directly when defining a view without using the action helper? My view is already a link so I can't use a template with it. I would need to use the click event but then my view must know my router.

Example: 

App.Link = Em.View.extend({
    classNames: ['btn'],
    tagName: 'a',
    template: Em.Handlebars.compile("My Link"),
    click: function(event) {
        //I don't want to have to call this here
        App.router.doSomething();
    },
    //What Id like to do
    action: "doSomething"
})

Is this available anywhere? I couldn't find any information.

You actually can do that via Bindings and it is pretty acceptable (at least from my point of view). You end up using this quite a lot when dealing with a bunch of inner-connectivity between a lot of different view/objects. It is actually one of the major reasons to use Ember (handles a lot of the bootstrapping for you). 

    clickBinding: 'doSomething'

Made a fiddler so show a simple version it in action (mind you it can be a relative or absolute path). They do also cover this in the docs if you are looking for more details.
