do you know how I would create a method or function in the base type
that would create a new instance of the extended type?
Something like this?

Type BaseType
	Field whatever:Int
	
	Method MakeNew:BaseType()
		Return New Self
	EndMethod
EndType

Type SomeType Extends BaseType

EndType


Local a:SomeType=New SomeType
Local b:SomeType=SomeType(a.MakeNew())
