Reflection: Get properties/fields from individual elements of a List<>

I'm sorry in advance for the mess you're about to read, because I'm not 100% sure what I'm searching for.

I have created an entire UI system that automatically grabs a list of properties from various scripts/components on GameObjects (Unity) and creates a fitting UI input variant for them (for example, float gets a single line, Vector3 gets 3 lines, color gets something else etc.).

What goes into UI input fields creation is a Component (that we want to look into), while individual created UI inputs store this Component and Property Name. So when input changes in one of input fields, it does SetValue on Property of a Component. Now I have also created a variant where we peak into a Class of a property and basically list Property's Properties, so the UI input stores Component, Property Name, and subProperty's Name and modifies properties as such. All this works well.

So, now I hit a brick wall with Lists. I would like to treat individual elements of a list as properties so that I could pass them into my preexisting UI scheme.

tl;dr Does List<> treat it's individual elements as Properties, Fields or does it depend on the situation? How do I get these properties, fields or their respective names from this list in order to use them with my mess of an UI system? 0 work for me means treating individual elements of List as properties.
