#url of ImageResource in external ClientBundle, to be used in UiBinder - gwt

Question

Is it possible to reference an ImageResource with #url in UiBinder, when the ImageResource and the UiBinder are not in the same package?
For example:
My shared ClientBundle :
package com.myproject.client.resources;
class SharedResources extends ClientBundle {
ImageResource myImage();
}
And, the UiBinder file in package com.myproject.client.anotherpackage
<ui:UiBinder xmlns:ui='urn:ui:com.google.gwt.uibinder'
xmlns:g='urn:import:com.google.gwt.user.client.ui'>
<ui:with field="res" type="com.myproject.client.resources.SharedResources"/>
<ui:style>
#url myImg {insert reference to res.myImage}
.theClass {
background: myImg no-repeat center center #d7d6d6;
width: 21px;
}
</ui:style>
<g:HTMLPanel styleName="{style.theClass}"/>
</ui:UiBinder>
I know I could move the CSS to com.myproject.client.resources and then I would have easy access to the myImage (since the CSS and myImage would be in the same package), but I would prefer to keep the CSS inside the UiBinder and reuse the shared myImage from within the UiBinder.
There's a discussion regarding this issue here, but it does not answer my question:

I reached the same problem and my solution was to use ui:image. This solution will not reuse and refer directly to the ClientBundle like I think you want, but it gives you the possibility of not moving your CSS, or copying the image to your folder, or creating a new ClientBundle.
The code is something like:
<ui:UiBinder xmlns:ui='urn:ui:com.google.gwt.uibinder'
xmlns:g='urn:import:com.google.gwt.user.client.ui'>
<ui:with field="res" type="com.myproject.client.resources.SharedResources"/>
<ui:image field="resImage" src="../resources/image.png" />
<ui:style>
#url myImg resImage
.theClass {
background: myImg no-repeat center center #d7d6d6;
width: 21px;
}
</ui:style>
<g:HTMLPanel styleName="{style.theClass}"/>
</ui:UiBinder>
I kept the SharedResources reference just to illustrate using your example, but it isn't being used in this case.
