Description
I would like to request a feature where the property used for JsonTypeInfo to indicate JsonSubTypes could be set a logical property on the object aswell.
Here is the email between me and Tatu

There is no way to automatically do that at this point. Could be a new
feature to add; indicate logical property to set with type string (or
enum since that is easy to convert to).
If you think that is a good idea, feel free to add Jira feature request.

Ok: added @JsonTypeInfo.visible property (defaults to false): when set to true, Jackson will now put type id property in JSON and it will then be normally bound to whichever property matches. Works with all embedding styles, all property types (including creator properties).
