Is there any other way to do this other than casting it explicitly to a Chest type?

public class ABC

    public virtual string DoIt()
    {

    }
}

public class XYZ : ABC
{
    public override string DoIt()

        return "XYZ";
    }
}

// Later on...
ABC a = new XYZ();
// str = "XYZ";
string str = a.DoIt();

Chest ch = new GameObject

Duck d = new Animal();
