Can you animate the material of a Canvas Image?

I'm working with the new UI system and was wondering if I could make my Image animate (pan/scroll). I go into the animation window, but i'm only able to turn the material on/off.

http://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/CanvasRenderer.SetVertices.html ??? Guess you can settle verts each frame?

The other thing guys is that you cannot access the render properties to animate the image material, like in the sprite. So you cannot create an animation and use it in a AnimationController to, let´s say, switch between a vanish animation and an appereance state.

Right now I'm not using the Image component in some gui objects, instead I'm using the Sprite component in order to have control over the object's material. Any chance this will be included in next releases?
