Description
Assuming i have a have piece of code which has an StructTypes.AbstractType() which already has it's StructTypes.subtypes(::Type{Vehicle}) set but i now want to add a new subtype at run time.
Is there a recommended way to do that? If so i would offer to extend the documentation with an example. My current solution would be StructTypes.subtypes(::Type{Vehicle}) = merge(StructTypes.subtypes(::Type{Vehicle}), (; train=Train)) but if there is a different way preferred with the package then i would like to know.

Research direction
Start by reading the existing StructTypes.subtypes(::Type{Vehicle}) API and its documentation to determine whether runtime subtype extension is supported and whether the proposed merge is preferred. Confirm the recommended approach with the package behavior, then add a documentation example only if the API has a clear supported pattern.
