What you want is `%items{$item}."$attr"()`.

But if all you want is removing the show's repetition, maybe there are
other ways, for example:

for %!items<ropa femur fósforos>:kv {
    say $^key.tc, ' ', $^value.amount;
}

or if you want all items:

for %!items {
    say .key.tc, ' ', .value.amount;
}
