How to display %Status in readable form?

Hi all,

I am trying to use a %Status property on some of my Response classes. If the execution of a service goes wrong, I set the %Status property on Response with the value $$$ERROR($$$GeneralError, "pre-defined error message"). 

When I check the visual trace for this message and look for the %Status (property "status_code" on the image), it is displayed like this:

If I select to display the Body of the Response, I get the 'readable' form of %Status:

According to the documentation, this is expected as %Status properties are encoded in base64 during Projection to XML.

So my question is: Is it possible to display the readable form when Projecting to XML?

Regards and thanks!
