```auto
<WhilePressed ux:Name="wpressed">
	<Rectangle ux:Name="rect" Position="{SnapshotProperty wpressed.PressedPosition}" Placed="{rectPlaced}" Anchor="0%,0%" Width="20" Height="20" Color="#8f10" />

	<Callback Handler="{onPressed}" />
</WhilePressed>

```

1. Get x and y from args, from rectPlaced function, and assign them to Observables (or do whatever you want with them)
2. In onPressed function, use observables
