Research direction
Start from the structure view and the existing handling for clicking a field and pressing S. Reproduce the interaction on field_20 in struct_a, then trace how structures or classes are created from fields. Done means a user can select the nested pointer field and create the referenced structure with S, with behavior matching existing structure-creation flows.
