I've even simplified the accepted solution. It uses the trick that from DataTemplates, you can reference static resources. And in static resources, you can use ElementName in binding.

1. Create a new control:

   public class ElementProxy : DependencyObject
   {
       public DependencyObject Element
       {
           get { return (DependencyObject)GetValue(ElementProperty); }
           set { SetValue(ElementProperty, value); }
       }
   
   public static readonly DependencyProperty ElementProperty =
       DependencyProperty.Register("Element", typeof(DependencyObject), typeof(ElementProxy), new PropertyMetadata(null));
   }
   

2. Put it into static resources of the DataGrid or its parent control and reference it through StaticResource:

(in column template:)
