Assign separate handles to function outputs

I have a function that returns two outputs, the function value and its derivative. I'd like to create separate handles to the function value and the derivative. Is this possible?
For clarity, I'd like to do something like this:
function [f, fdx] = get_values(x)
...
end
f = @(x) get_values(x) %first output
g = @(x) get_values(x) %second output somehow, not sure how to do this

Create an additional function
function fdx=get_fdx(x)
[~,fdx]=get_values(x);
end
and now
f = @get_values%first output
g = @get_fdx %second output somehow, not sure how to do this

I agree. Notice that you need a real function for this, not an anonymous function. MATLAB does not provide any mechanism to access any function output other than the first except for the case that the output is being assigned to a location with "=". You cannot access the second output of a function from within an anonymous function.

If you return the arguments as structure fields,
function out = get_values(x)
....
out.f=f;
out.fdx=fdx;
end
then you can do things like,
f = @(x) getfield(get_values(x),'f') %first output
g = @(x) getfield(get_values(x),'dfx') %second output
