Controller+Action Routing in OpenUI5?

Question

In many MVC frameworks, routes are set up like the following:

route.add(
{
   pattern: "{controller}/{action}/{id}"
}

This pattern would translate http://myapp/products/edit/5 to the products Controller, in the edit action, passing 5 as an argument. Importantly with this method, the Controller is invoked first, and the Controller returns a View, like the following:

class ProductsController
{
     public ActionResult EditAction(String id)
     {
          return View("Edit.view.html");
     }
}

Does this approach to MVC exist in OpenUI5? Would it be possible to implement with custom code?

I don't think so. The view definition allows you to define a controller name which is then used to instantiate the controller. Inverting this would require a lot of changes in the core.
