Can a converter being used in a Source of a Binding

Text="{Binding MyTextProperty, RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, 
                                            AncestorType=local:MyUserControl}}"

in the above code, i can get the MyUserControl as my source but the MyTextProperty is in another control which inside the MyUserControl. so i can use a converter and get the 'MyUserControl' and return the corresponding control as Source.

is this possible?

You could expose the inner control as a public property in MyUserControl:

public class MyUserControl
{
    public MyInnerControl InnerControl { get; set; }
}

and use it in the property path of your binding like this:

Text="{Binding InnerControl.MyTextProperty,
    RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType=local:MyUserControl}}"
