@flyx I guess it's not NEEDED because I can just store it in a table but after using Python year after year it just seems like something natural.
The "solution" based on posts above is:
import tables
template `.?`*[T](a: T, f: untyped): untyped =
a[astToStr(f)]
var Thing = initTable[string, string]()
Thing.add("name", "value")
echo Thing.?name
