Allow attributes to be shown in picture-elements card - not just the top level state

I have 10 TRVs which have have temp as an attribute - e.g. climate.living_room.current_temperature. I’d like to be able to show them all on a picture element card of my house. However this isn’t possible without creating a new sensor for each one based on the attribute. I can show the state of the sensor, but I’d like to be able to simply pick an attibute. E.g. this works but shows the word ‘Auto’

  - entity: climate.living_room_temp
    style:
      background: center / contain no-repeat url("/local/temp.png?v=2")
      color: white
      display: block
      font-family: Helvetica
      font-size: 9px
      left: 15%
      overflow: hidden
      text-align: center
      top: 5%
    type: state-label

But what I’d like to be able to do is something like this to just show the attribute value for the current temperature:

 - entity: climate.living_room_temp.current_temperature
    style:
      background: center / contain no-repeat url("/local/temp.png?v=2")
      color: white
      display: block
      font-family: Helvetica
      font-size: 9px
      left: 15%
      overflow: hidden
      text-align: center
      top: 5%
    type: state-label

The benefits for this would be:

Remove the requirement to setup multiple new sensors in the .yaml config (and I think most people are in favour of reducing the amount of yaml editing required).
Remove the requirement to setup 10 (in my case) sensors purely for the purpose of display the details in the card.

There are some cards that allow attributes, eg https://github.com/custom-cards/entity-attributes-card

Yes, But I’m talking specifically about the picture elements card, for the specific case in the example. I can’t think I’m the only one who would find this useful.

Ok, now there is attribute … but only for state-label. No luck for state-icon?
