Feature request: Create UnityEngine.Object instances throw inspector like you create components.

Currently a field of UnityEngine.Object type requires an external object to be assigned either from the scene or from assets.

So, to create a scriptable object containing collection of other scriptable objects (something like custom component system) we have to create those scriptable objects as an individual assets then reference them. Even if this will be the only reference!

I propose the possibility to create encapsulated objects like you do with "Add Component" button on GameObject Prefabs. But through the common Inspector UI like this:




Then you edit it as nested object.

 

You can do that manually, with AssetDatabase.AddObjectToAsset.
