Can enums hold classes as members?

I'm trying to add classes to an enum, but I can't find a way to make it work.

I have a "main" class (let's call it Product) which should hold some other different classes, that hold different properties, under a single enum (let's call it Property). The Property enum should contain multiple different classes which fall under the Product class, so that I can use one of them, depending on which product is in question. However, when I try to include a class under an enum, it's not being recognized as a class at all.

Is there way to include classes as members under an enum?

There is not.

See enum-Reference:

Every enumeration type has an underlying type, which can be any integral numeric type.

An enum type is always numeric.

No, this not what enums are build for.
Enums are like primitve classes (like int) and should be used in this way.
