To get a reference to a WBP Class, you can get it using :

ConstructorHelpers::FClassFinder<UUserWidget> WBPClassFinder(TEXT("/Path/To/WBP/WBP_Name"));

for example, I have a ServerRow Widget Blueprint in my project, in folder Content/Blueprints/UI, so I do :

ConstructorHelpers::FClassFinder<UUserWidget> ServerRowBPClass(TEXT("/Game/Blueprints/UI/WBP_ServerRow"));

then check if the blueprint was found and assign it to a TSubclassOf :

TSubclassOf<UUserWidget> WBPClass;
if (ServerRowBPClass.Class) ServerRowClass = ServerRowBPClass.Class;

To get the reference to a UCLASS, you can use ClassName::StaticClass() : UClass::StaticClass | Unreal Engine Documentation

To cast object from a class to another, you can use Cast(ObjectToCast) : Cast | Unreal Engine Documentation

Hope it can help ! I don’t know if it fully solves your question, if you need more informations tell me what else do you need
