Is it possible to name slices of arrays as functions?

This works, but I end up having lots of slices around my code, which can be difficult to read.
I was hoping there was a zero-cost way of writing a shorthand function like

GitHub - SciML/LabelledArrays.jl: Arrays which also have a label for each...

using LabelledArrays
julia> z = @LArray [1 2; 3 4] (a = (2, :), b = 2:3);
julia> z.a
2-element view(::Array{Int64,2}, 2, :) with eltype Int64:
 3
 4
