Resolve sprite inspector drag&drop to a GameObject on custom type

Unity Engine
1

I have a type that looks something like

[System.Serializable]
public struct PlaceableProp
{
    public GameObject obj;
    public float otherStuff;
}

And I expose a list of those to the inspector. I would like to be able to drag a sprite asset from my project window into that inspector list and have it automatically convert to a gameobject with a SpriteRenderer component with the correct sprite assigned. Is that possible?

It’s possible, but would require custom inspector/editor work. How easy/hard that is will depend on how much experience you have with this stuff, but off the cuff it would require pretty reasonable knowledge of this kind of stuff.
