Actually, it already does have the behaviour that I wanted.

I have a base type  and two extending types, when I display a collection of
the base type but which contains instances of the two extending types, Isis
is 'casting' the entries to those two different extending types for display.

That is, when I hover over the icons on the left it gives me different
titles according to which type and when I navigate to those members its
showing them as the specific subtypes with their additional properties.

I'll try individual icons for the subtypes and see if it uses them instead
of the one for the base-type.

Cool
