@tapac In Hibernate I can have a structure like this:

@Entity
@Inheritance(strategy = InheritanceType.JOINED)
abstract class Item(...)

@Entity
class SubItemA(...) : Item(...)

@Entity
class SubItemB(...) : Item(...)

This structure creates three tables, one with common attributes from the Item class and one for SubItemA and SubItemB
Then I can create a (Spring) repository where I can query for List<Item> and get any instance, be it SubItemA or SubItemB
The issue I had with Exposed was that I could not find a way to query for the base class but retrieve any instance of a subclass
