Interpolating a csproj xml property in the text of another property?

  <PropertyGroup Condition="$([MSBuild]::IsOSPlatform('Windows'))">
    <DataFolder>Win64_Data</DataFolder>
  </PropertyGroup>
  <ItemGroup>
    <Reference Include="Assembly-CSharp">
      <HintPath>..\..\..\$(DataFolder)\Managed\Assembly-CSharp.dll</HintPath>
      <Private>False</Private>
    </Reference>
  <PropertyGroup Condition="$([MSBuild]::IsOSPlatform('Windows'))">
    <DataFolder>Win64_Data</DataFolder>
  </PropertyGroup>
  <ItemGroup>
    <Reference Include="Assembly-CSharp">
      <HintPath>..\..\..\$(DataFolder)\Managed\Assembly-CSharp.dll</HintPath>
      <Private>False</Private>
    </Reference>
Is something like this possible? I'm hoping I've just missed some available syntax for doing this sort of interpolation.

is there a way I can get msbuild to spit out the result? I'm testing and it doesn't seem to work, but there could be something else wrong adding that target to my <Project> has no obvious effect. some message appears nowhere in the output of msbuild ok, I have my msbuild output (without your target) in that viewer aha! thanks, that lets me find the interpolated HintPath it looks good, so my problem must be elsewhere
