There is no built-in way to do that, but you can write your own add-in/macro
to create the property or use 3rd-party add-ins which support that.

No, but if you use a simple recorded macro you can save the macro for later
use. I just recorded this one directly from the keyboard using the
Ctrl+Shift+R hot-key combination. As you can see, it grabs the field name,
modifies it, pastes in extra bits and creates a property. It uses my
standard of naming fields with an underbar and an initial lower-case letter
so that for example a field named "_foo" creates a property named "Foo"
