Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
This is the link to a different feature request but the setup/scenario is the same: here
It would be very convenient if there would a way to get the Bar or Baz type out of Get/CreateFooDefaultResponse type. I imagine they might be created as inner classes or similar -- the generator should already be aware which attributes belong to which type.
Describe the solution you'd like
For example, the type GetFoo*Response will be generated if the GET request might return either type Bar or Baz. Ideally I would be able to call an inner class on the type which would give me an object of Bar/Baz.
Describe alternatives you've considered
An alternative is to create and use an utility method that extracts the appropriate type attributes - it goes without saying that this is tedious.

Research direction
Review the response-type generation behavior for Get/CreateFoo*Response and the related feature request in issue #18763. Determine how Bar and Baz are represented in generated responses; done means callers can access the matching child type without a separate utility extractor.
