I am able to find the individual objects. However I know there is an array or pointers to these objects. My question is: How would this look like in memory? For different types of arrays eg. List<objType> or Struct[]

The array would only contain pointers to the individual structures.

sometimes you can just play with some of the offsets of an existing pointer to discover a way to enumerate the other objects.

e.g the second last or third last offset might show another valid object every 4, 8, 12 or 16 bytes it changes

Or sometimes looking at part of the pointer path in structure dissect can help see a linked list or similar. (you can expand a certain offset each time)
