Event delegation for target - ember.js

Question

In the following code, my click events delegate and all three 'click' handlers in my view hierarchy get fired.
However, I also want to fire 'edit' in my entire view hierarchy. 'edit' is simply the target of an element in my 'child' view.
Template
<script type="text/x-handlebars">
{{#view App.GrandparentView}}
{{#view App.ParentView}}
{{#view App.ChildView}}
<span {{action "edit" target="view"}}>Click Me</span>
{{/view}}
{{/view}}
{{/view}}
</script>
​
JavaScript
App.GrandparentView = Ember.View.extend({
click: function() {
console.log('Grandparent Click Fired!');
},
edit: function () {
console.log('GrandParent edit fired');
}
});
App.ParentView = Ember.View.extend({
click: function() {
console.log('Parent Click Fired!');
},
edit: function () {
console.log('Parent edit fired');
}
});
App.ChildView = Ember.View.extend({
click: function() {
console.log('Child Click Fired!');
},
edit: function () {
console.log('Child edit fired');
}
});​
Is there no way to delegate the target handlers in the view hierarchy? What I dont want to do is this:
App.ChildView = Ember.View.extend({
click: function() {
console.log('Child Click Fired!');
},
edit: function () {
console.log('Child edit fired');
this.get('parentView').edit(); //DO NOT WANT TO DO THIS.
}
});​
Here is a jsFiddle as an example to test.

It looks like the same question you've posted about a week ago. As far as I can see, such feature is not implemented in ember. The event is propagated to the view hierarchy, but the action name is lost, and the default click handler is triggered.
The only workaround I found is to reopen the Ember.View class itself, and override the click handler like this:
Ember.View.reopen({
click: function(event){
if(event.view !== this && this[event.actionName]){
return this[event.actionName](event);
}
}
})
