Constants with multiple static class for Xaml properties

I've generated some constants from images files in our project. However, I'm having trouble accessing multiple static classes as a Xaml property.

Cannot resolve type "Constants.Images.Icons.IcAccount.Svg". (XFC0000)

namespace Common
{
    public static class Constants
    {
        public static class Images
        {
            public static class Icons
            {
                public static class IcAccount
                {
                    public static readonly string Svg = "res:images.icons.ic_account";
                    public static readonly string File = "ic_account.svg";
                }

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<ContentPage
  x:Class="myapp.Pages.ActiveBookingPage"
  xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"
  xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
  xmlns:control="clr-namespace:myapp.Controls;assembly=myapp"
  xmlns:common="clr-namespace:myapp.Common;assembly=myapp">

    <ContentPage.Content>
        <control:CustomImageButton
            ButtonImage="{x:Static common:Constants.Images.Icons.IcAccount.Svg}"

I've tried several variations however I can't specify any more than {x:Static common:Constants.Svg}

I found this as an initial basis, but it doesn't use multiple classes.

I’d be happy to change the format of my constants class.

The compiler does some clever stuff to manage nested classes, renaming it with the full class-tree with "+".

Use

common:Constants+Images+Icons+IcAccount.Svg
