Description

Currently there are an extract class function.
But would be very useful to have one that creates a new record from the selected class. For example to create DTOs from Entities classes.

Research direction

Start by examining the existing Extract Class refactoring entry point and how its menu item operates. Define the intended behavior for creating a record from a selected class, including the Entity-to-DTO example, then verify that the new refactoring has a clear selection flow and completes with the generated record.
