Description
### Describe the bug
Related to #2721, that issue is fixed, we can now bind to a property of a named control, but binding to named non-control is still causing compile error (you still need to redeclare it in the `idl`).
### Steps to reproduce the bug
1. Create a new C++ winui3 project
2. In `MainWindow.xaml`, use this xaml
```xml
```
### Expected behavior
_No response_
### Screenshots
_No response_
### NuGet package version
WinUI 3 - Windows App SDK 1.6.1: 1.6.240923002
### Windows version
_No response_

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the minimal repro in MainWindow.xaml and compare its named non-control x:Bind path with the named-control case fixed in #2721. Reproduce the C++/WinRT compile error using the linked project; done means the binding compiles without requiring the non-control to be redeclared in IDL.
