Get static variable from object property (string)

Question

How do I get a static variable dynamically?

I'm trying this but getting the dreaded PAAMAYIM error:

foreach($this->entity::$dialog_data as $property) {

Should result in Company::$dialog_data because $this->entity contains the string 'Company'.

I'd like to avoid any temp variables.

i think there is no another way

@sikfire i searching and read somewhere this is possible only with temp variable
