-PropertyName can contain a simple property name like `SomeProperty` but it can also be used to hierachically reference sub-properties with expressions like `SomeProperty.SomeSubProperty.SomeThirdLevelProperty`. This can be used to easily bind additional columns to specific sub-properties following the paradigm of structured logging. Please be aware that collections are not supported. This means expressions like `SomeProperty.SomeArray[2]` will not work.
