[FEATURE] `Create` button in variables create events as nested scriptable objects.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. You can have multiple scriptable objects in the same asset file. Instead of having separate event scriptable objects, we can have events of every variable nested in that variable.

It will reduce the clutter of the project.

Describe the solution you’d like There is already a way to create an event scriptable object. Create button in the variable should create event nested in that variable.

Thanks for this issue @mnarimani! I think this is a great idea.

We need to make sure that it is possible to both nest and un-nest Events to Variables. My thoughts on this:

• Just default to always nest Events created via the Inspector.
• If an Event is nested, add a button to un-nest the Event from the Variable.
• If an Event is not nested to a Variable, then in the Event’s editor, add an ObjectField that takes a Variable + add a button to nest the Variable to the Event.
• Name this feature either: “Create Molecule” or “Fuse / Diffuse”.

@mnarimani @soraphis What are your thoughts on my suggestions?

Furthermore, tested this myself using the following code snippet in AtomDrawer.cs:

try
{
    // Create asset
    T so = ScriptableObject.CreateInstance<T>();

    // Assign the newly created SO
    property.objectReferenceValue = so;

    if (property.GetParent() is AtomBaseVariable ab)
    {
        so.name = drawerData.NameOfNewAtom;
        AssetDatabase.AddObjectToAsset(so, ab);
        AssetDatabase.SaveAssets();
        AssetDatabase.ImportAsset(AssetDatabase.GetAssetPath(ab));
        AssetDatabase.ImportAsset(AssetDatabase.GetAssetPath(so));
        property.objectReferenceValue = so;
    }
    else
    {
        AssetDatabase.CreateAsset(so, "Assets/" + drawerData.NameOfNewAtom + ".asset");
        AssetDatabase.SaveAssets();
    }
}
catch
{
    Debug.LogError("Not able to create Atom");
}

The code above is not 100%, but it covers the case of ensuring that the target is a Variable (might be a problem with Constants).
