Getting Unity to display variable names for NullRefrenceExceptions

Hello,
We are all familiar with NullRefrenceExceptions and how the error message does not tell you which variable is null in something like: enemy.target.stats.health.shield.curShields as noted in this very old thread:
https://forum.unity.com/threads/better-nullreferenceexception-error-reporting.12739/

I came across this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions...how-to-spot-the-culprit-in-the-specified-line - where the answer shows you how to enable settings where Visual Studio 2017+ it does report the null variable name.

I don't understand if this is applicable at all but it would be GREAT if this somehow could be used in Unity to report back the variable name, it would save us all a huge amount of debugging time whenever this happens.
Does anyone know if this can be done?

SIDE QUESTION
Is there a way to write a function that steps through a chained line of code like this to check which is null?
Something like this in pseudocode:

CheckNullHelperFunc(unknowntype codeline){
foreach(unknowntype.part segment in codeline){
Debug.Log(segment.name: segment)
}
}

So for null refrence in: enemy.target.stats.health.shield.curShields
CheckNullHelperFunc(enemy.target.stats.health.shield.curShields);
Would print out:
enemy: Object
target: Object
stats: NULL

 

If you just hook up a debugger to your code you can just look at it line by line and check which variable is null.
Not only that, you're just giving yourself a headache using a line like

enemy.target.stats.health.shield.curShields

, just split it up into different variables and you'll be able to easily see which one is null.

 

Oh my... as Rad Red Panda right points out, if you have more than one or two dots (.) in a single statement, you're just being mean to yourself.

Break it up, practice social distancing in your code, one thing per line please.
