To make my question short:) If ColumnsArray is a class I can
access the attribute "reference" but not if it is a struct. I
would rather prefer a struct, but with a struct
it seems I cannot access "reference".
How can I access "reference" from my inner struct?

Add an explicit class reference member to to it:
---
class TCustomGrid: TCustomPresentedScrollBox
{
struct ColumnsArray
{
TCustomGrid parent;
TColumn opIndex(int index)
{
int r = getIntegerIndexedPropertyReference(reference,
"Columns", index);
return new TColumn(r);
}
}
ColumnsArray Columns;
this()
{
Columns = ColumnsArray(this);
}
...
}

Nesting structs inside anything other than functions[1] is for
visibility/protection encapsulation and namespacing only.
[1] non-static structs in functions are special as they have
access to the surrounding stack frame
