Reading resource strings from satellite assemblies on Wix?

Is it possible to read resources from resource DLLs via WIX, than hard-coded strings in WXS / WXL files? I have resources in satellite DLLs and I need something more efficient than copying and hard-coding them in WXS / WXL files.

You can retrieve strings from a resource library and then save them in properties using Custom Action. You can then use these properties to display text in dialogs.

But I would not recommend using this approach. If these lines are intended to be used only during installation, it is better to go to the WSX or WXL files: it is more simple and efficient.
