How to hang canvas on scriptableObject?

Question

Game development

Hello everyone
I got carried away here with unity, I'm making a small ui for the game. And there was a need to add an item, in which there will be fields:
- title,
- image for it
- description (description in the form of text, and background_image, on which the text will hang).
There is no way to add canvas to a scriptable object (when trying to migrate the canvas prefab, it simply does not migrate). Does anyone know how this is done?

public class Item : ScriptableObject
{
    new public string name =  "New Item";
    public Sprite icon = null;
    public Canvas description = null;

}

p/s
The bottom line is that items are on the playing field. When a player approaches an item, it is added to it in the menu. When the user opens the menu, clicks on this item, and a description of the item's functionality pops up

You have bad architecture. ScriptableObject is essentially a static data store, and it should not know anything about the game, much less interact with the UI in any way. You need a separate MonoBehaviour that will impersonate the game object, it will interact with the world and know the properties of the Item.
