Is there a better way to solve this requirement

I have a different objects, like this:

typedef struct
{
    int32_t  info ;
} item1_properties_t ;

and

typedef struct
{
    int32_t  info ;
} item2_properties_t ;

the objects are held in containers. I want to introduce a function that returns these objects (i.e. a const pointer) with minimum casts (working in C). I thought of having the function return the type and a void pointer, expecting the caller to cast correctly but I don't really like it. Do you have better ideas?
