Feature Request: Allow mapper to map instance to abstract class

hello, I want to map a object to a abstract class (eg, interface) instead of concrete class.

interface IAccount {
  public String getName();
  public String getSubject();
}

class Account {
 String name;
 String subject;
 String password;

  // getter setter ...
}

then, map the Account to interface IAccount by creating a dynamic proxy object to implement it.

Do we need this ?

I think it’s very useful. cause we use interfaces to pass some immutable variables btw tiers, such as DTO, we deserialize a JSON to an interface to initialize DTO by create a dynamic proxy. and do so to response a JSON.

I had wrote such a converter for our projects. Maybe I could add this to the project here?!

Not sure if you looking for such kind of converter (https://gitlab.com/kilrath987/modelmapper/-/blob/master/src/main/java/org/kilrath/modelmapper/converter/AbstractTypeConverter.java), but have a look here. If you need more explanation, don’t hesitate to contact me.
