I'm not very familiar at all with the Go protobuf implementation but in other languages we usually call this feature DynamicMessage. This lets you operate on a message type whose descriptor you access at runtime, without having to know about it at build time. I think this is probably the Go equivalent: https://pkg.go.dev/google.golang.org/protobuf/types/dynamicpb
