I would say that you're stuck with the curly bracket notation. Create_struct() is meant for run-time definition of a structures and objects are typically static. Is this just an aesthetic problem or do you plan to dynamically create the structure of the object?
However, if a dynamic object is what you really want, then you could use hashes and dictionaries in the structure definition (with curly brackets).

Here are some useful object related links, in case you didn't come across these things:
http://www.idlcoyote.com/tips/getproperty.html
http://www.idlcoyote.com/code_tips/allprops.html

I hope it helps,
Helder
