I would like to expose some DataAsset in the configuration of my plugin.

If I wanted some integer, this would work well:

UPROPERTY(Config, EditAnywhere, BlueprintReadOnly, Category = "Some asset")
int Foo;

But If I go for

UPROPERTY(Config, EditAnywhere, BlueprintReadOnly, Category = "Some asset")
UFoo* Foo;

where

UCLASS()
class UFoo: public UDataAsset

then I get the error message:

error : Not allowed to use 'config' with object variables

Is there anyway to benefit forfrom the nice UI features of UDataAsset, while exposing them in the settings?
