Hello! I have not thought about this specific use case, but what I have thought about is if there is a way to enumerate all refl-cpp types, and that doesn't seem to be the case.

What you could try, though, provided that you intend to use that sort of data at runtime only, is create a lightweight structure to hold the information about the base classes, and build the reverse relationship from there. Any metadata that you would like to use would also have to be moved to runtime. Something like this (needs much improvement):
https://godbolt.org/z/q6f5f5

#include <string>
#include <vector>
#include <map>
#include <iostream>
#include "refl.hpp"

#define CONCAT_(A, B) A##B
#define CONCAT(A, B) CONCAT_(A, B)
#define RUN_GLOBAL(...) static int CONCAT(_ignored_, __COUNTER__) = (void(__VA_ARGS__), 0)

struct TypeInfo
{
    template <typename T>
    static TypeInfo from(refl::type_descriptor<T> td)
    {
        auto bases = refl::util::map_to_array<TypeInfo>(reflect_types(get_declared_base_types(td)), [](auto base_td) {
            return TypeInfo::from(base_td);
        });
        return TypeInfo{ td.name.str(), std::vector<TypeInfo>(bases.begin(), bases.end()) };
    }

    template <typename T>
    static void register_type()
    {
        constexpr auto td = refl::reflect<T>();
        s_type_info[td.name.str()] = from(td);
    }

    template <typename T>
    static std::vector<TypeInfo> get_derived_types()
    {
        std::vector<TypeInfo> derived;
        for (auto&& [key, value] : s_type_info) {
            for (auto&& base : value.bases) {
                if (base.name == refl::reflect<T>().name.str()) {
                    // TODO: Check if already added
                    derived.push_back(value);
                }
            }
        }
        return derived;
    }

    std::string name;
    std::vector<TypeInfo> bases; 
    static std::map<std::string, TypeInfo> s_type_info;
};

std::map<std::string, TypeInfo> TypeInfo::s_type_info{ };

struct BaseClass { };
REFL_AUTO(type(BaseClass))
RUN_GLOBAL(TypeInfo::register_type<BaseClass>());

struct DerivedClass : BaseClass { };
REFL_AUTO(type(DerivedClass, bases<BaseClass>))
RUN_GLOBAL(TypeInfo::register_type<DerivedClass>());

int main()
{
    std::cout << "Derived from BaseClass:\n";
    for (auto&& derived : TypeInfo::get_derived_types<BaseClass>()) {
        std::cout << '\t' << derived.name << '\n';
    }
}

Agreed, iterating through all the types would help here. Too bad it's not possible.

The runtime approach is an interesting direction though. I'll what I can make of that. Thank you!
