Hi all, I would really appreciate it if someone could take a look at the code below and tell me why the code doesn't work? Also what can I do to get this to work.

Short summary of what I am trying to achieve:

1. I have a trait for example SomeTrait
2. I have a struct Bar which contains a field data which is HashMap<String, Box>

I am writing a method get<T> for Bar which should access the stored value and return Option<&T>

Following is the example code I have:

EDIT: Fixed the link

So my question is if there is an ideal way to fix this? Preferably by not creating a new owned value?
