GoToState from within ItemTemplate

Question

Anybody figured out how to activate a visual state within the namescope of the ItemsControl from within a DataTemplate applied to said ItemsControl's ItemTemplate?

You obviously can't select the target from within Blend. I was wondering if there was some obvious loop hole that I am missing.

Answer 1

You may be able to create your own derived DataTemplate that can do special logic, think something named a VisualStateDataTemplate?

Just thought, I haven't tried it.
