SASS/SCSS: Refer to property without using an intermediate variable

Question

Is it possible to refer to a property previously defined in a selector without introducing an intermediate variable?

I\'d like to say something like:

Answer 1

If its an option to use an other preprocessor then scss, I really recommend using Stylus. There is a feature called Property lookup which is exactly what you want.

Answer 2

No, you can't, and it would be great.

I haven't tested, but as far as I know the only css pre-processor that can do that is stylus. Look at the variable section in its documentation, where it says Property Lookup. It works that way:

.foo {
  padding: 15px;
  width: 300px - @padding * 2;
}

But no, in Sass you can't, as far as I'm concerned.
