How do I reference "this" while method cascading in Dart?

I'd like to reference "this" (a method owner) while method cascading in Dart.

// NG code, but what I want.
paragraph.append( getButton()
    ..text = "Button A"
    ..onClick.listen((e) {
      print (this.text + " has been has clicked"); // <= Error. Fail to reference "button.text".
    }));

I know I can write a code like this by splitting it onto multiple lines.

// OK code, I think this is verbose.
var button;
button = getButton()
    ..text = "Button A"
    ..onClick.listen((e) {
      print (button.text + " has been clicked");
    }));
paragraph.append( button);

Being unable to reference a cascading source object is preventing me from writing shorter code on many occasions. Is there better way to do method cascading?

You can not use this as you would like.

You can simplify your second code snippet with :

var button = getButton();
paragraph.append(button
    ..text = "Button A"
    ..onClick.listen((e) {
      print (button.text + " has been has clicked");
    }));
