Is there a way to specify a custom dependency property's default binding mode and update trigger?

Question

I would like to make it so that, as default, when I bind to one of my dependency properties the binding mode is two-way and update-trigger is property changed. Is there a way to do this?

Here is an example of one of my dependency properties:

public static readonly DependencyProperty BindableSelectionLengthProperty =
        DependencyProperty.Register(
        "BindableSelectionLength",
        typeof(int),
        typeof(ModdedTextBox),
        new PropertyMetadata(OnBindableSelectionLengthChanged));

When registering the property, initialize your metadata with:

new FrameworkPropertyMetadata
{
    BindsTwoWayByDefault = true,
    DefaultUpdateSourceTrigger = UpdateSourceTrigger.PropertyChanged
}
