To reply more directly to your question: we already have code to generate a model like that -- when we generate a model for quotable lambdas, we add extra parameters to the model to map enclosing `this` (where available) as well as any captured vars. We could do exactly the same for any method declared inside an inner class. In terms of code we can do it -- but this wouldn't model the semantics of the code eventually generated by javac (perhaps this become clearer when thinking about how such an approach would scale to model the _constructor_ of an inner class).
