Setting Static Mesh Instance Within Editor

Hi all Is there a way to declare a StaticMesh in a class and that set the UPROPERTY() in the way that I can set shapes such as cube cone etc. in editor just like with primitive types such as int, float ? Or do I have to use object finder to load the static mesh ?

Here is a quick psuedo code:

// Header file (.h):

UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere, Category = "Your Category Name")
UStaticMesh* MyMesh

UPROPERTY()
UStaticMeshComponent* MyMeshComponent;

virtual void OnConstruction(const FTransform& Transform) override;

// Source file (.cpp):

MyMeshComponent = CreateDefaultSubobject<UStaticMeshComponent>(TEXT("MyMeshComponent"));
MyMeshComponent->SetupAttachment(RootComponent);

void OnConstruction(const FTransform& Transform)
{
    Super::OnConstruction( Transform);
    MyMeshComponent->SetStaticMesh(nullptr);
    if (MyMesh != nullptr)
    {
        MyMeshComponent->SetStaticMesh(MyMesh);
    }
}

Right my code is very similar except that I store pointers in array, I know why it wasn’t working I have UStaticMesh wrapped up in TSubClassOf<> that’s why I couldn’t set the static mesh thanks a lot !
