Can I execute inherited static functions from a BaseClass from a ChildClass and get the childs properties?
I have a few cases where I want to add static functions or values in a base class so that I can use them in all subclasses that inherits from it.

One such case is when i want to create generic tags for each class to use in data mapping as a key, like when i want to find fragments or pass data between activities.

For example:

open class BaseClass(){

companionObject{
val TAG: String = this.javaClass.simpleName
}
}

class ChildClass: BaseClass()

class Main: Activity(){

fun...
