Can you define a Thickness static resource in UWP XAML that references another static resource (double) for one of its values?

I would like to define a double that will always be the left margin value in two difference Thickness values, both of which will be used in multiple places. E.g.:

<x:Double x:Key="BreadcrumbElementLeftMargin">23</x:Double>

<Thickness x:Key="BreadcrumbTextElementMargin">(reference value 23 above),20,0,0</Thickness>
<Thickness x:Key="BreadcrumbImageElementMargin">(reference value 23 above),40,0,0</Thickness>

Is there a way to do that?

No, this is not possible in UWP because in UWP Thickness has no default constructor so the Left, Top, Right and Bottom properties cannot be set individually.

Side note: In WPF this can be done like this:

<x:Double x:Key="BreadcrumbElementLeftMargin">23</x:Double>

<Thickness x:Key="BreadcrumbTextElementMargin"
           Bottom="0"
           Left="{StaticResource BreadcrumbElementLeftMargin}"
           Right="0"
           Top="20" />

<Thickness x:Key="BreadcrumbImageElementMargin"
           Bottom="0"
           Left="{StaticResource BreadcrumbElementLeftMargin}"
           Right="0"
           Top="40" />
