It can.

.NET/C# has a `dynamic` type (aka `ExpandoObject`). That would be one way to do it (but would require casting to invoke). It's not exactly the same since you'd assign the `Func`/`Action` to a property of the `dynamic`. `dynamic` is generally avoided due to how easy it is to get into a pickle with it and also performance issues.

An alternate in this case is probably to return a tuple which I think is just as good/better.

Example:

    var log = (object message) => Console.WriteLine(message);
    var foo = () => log("Hello, World");
    var fn1 = (foo, "This is the help text");

    var commands = new[] { fn1 };
    commands.ToList().ForEach(c => {
      var (fn, help) = c;
      log(fn.Method.Name);
      log(help ?? "No help is available for this function");
    });

The tuple can also take named properties like this:

    var log = (object message) => Console.WriteLine(message);
    var foo = () => log("Hello, World"); 
    
    var commands = new (Action fn, string? help)[] { 
      (foo, "This is the help text"), 
      (foo, null) 
    };
    
    commands.ToList().ForEach(c => {
      log(c.fn.Method.Name);
      log(c.help ?? "No help is available for this function");
    });

Alternatively, use anonymous types:

    var log = (object message) => Console.WriteLine(message);
    var foo1 = () => log("Hello, World");
    var foo2 = () => log("Hello, Neighbor");
    
    var bar = new[] {
      new {
        doSomething = foo1,
        help = "This is foo1's help text"
      },
      new {
        doSomething = foo2,
        help = "This is foo2's help text"
      },   
    };
    
    bar.ToList().ForEach(b => {
      var (fn, help) = (b.doSomething, b.help);
      fn();
      log(help);
    });

The next release of C# (12) will include named tuple types: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-ref...

Very much looking forward to this since it gives you a lot of the same power of the JavaScript map/TS `Record`.

While this is true, the `dynamic`/`ExpandoObject` is an oddity and lets you do weird things like multiple dispatch on .NET (https://charliedigital.com/2009/05/28/visitor-pattern-in-c-4...). But C# has a bunch of compiler tricks with regards to anonymous types that can mimic JS objects to some extent. The tuple type is probably a better choice in most cases, however.
