I could be wrong, but I don't think this is possible. However, I have solved this by minimising the tedium of having to register for all those individual property observations as follows:

A. each observable object class exports a list of properties that it thinks may be of interest to an observer. This is just an array of strings (property names) returned by a class method.

B. A utility method iterates over that list and registers a nominated observer against each one. There is also a complementary de-observing method.

C. The observer calls the utility method on the child passing itself as an observer.

I like it.

It's still a little "clunky" (on the child-side) but less-so than other ideas I had, and feels more proper than the ones I've been using.
