financial time series obiect: get a column by name string?

Say, I have a fts object of type:

dt =

    desc:  (none)
    freq:  Daily (1)

    'dates:  (2715)'    'times:  (2715)'    'A:  (2715)'    'B:  (2715)'    'C:  (2715)'

to access a column, you'd do something like:

dt.A

What if you'd want to place this in a function and pass the column name as a string argument:

col_name = 'A'

Is there a way to access this column from dt having its name in a string?

Again, similarly to the other question, relate it to the struct; I didn't find the similar documentation under the financial TS link, but here is link for structures; should work the same way...

it works indeed:

dt.Close

cl = 'Close'

dt.(cl)

produce similar results. Thanks!
