In GIMP there are some strings in a gtk.Builder ui xml embedded as a string in
a C file. That is used with Gtk.builder.new_from_string to make a menu. (
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/blob/master/plug-ins/imagemap/imap_main.c
)

The contents of this string do not get extracted by my usual xgettext flags
[1], and if I instead use -a to extract all it returns that whole xml as a
single string, not only parts marked "translatable".

Same thing can be seen with this example code from gtk:
https://developer-old.gnome.org/gtk4/stable/GtkApplicationWindow.html

Attached file is that example with a string added outside the xml to
demonstrate that only the string outside the xml is extracted.

Is there some way to extract only the labels marked translatable out of the
xml rather than the whole xml? Or is that unimplemented? Moving that xml to
another file makes extraction work as expected, so the problem is probably
that all the xml is in a single string.
