How to export ABAP package objects metadata?

Question

I want to export package structure including all the objects, types, classes and programs with their metadata. I want to keep object metadata and all their relations including subpackage hierarchy relation, program/include relation, FM/include/master program relation, etc.

Ideally it should be resembling SE80 hierarchy output, I want it formatted in Excel.

I tried:

1. Display - UML Class Diagram. That gives something weird not very useful

2. Display - Object List. Shows only use accesses, interfaces and subpackages, but not the full object list.
3. Package check - All Object. It shows only errors, also not useful.

I know this is something that was not possible in classic ECC by built-in tools, but maybe we have something nicey in S4?

I am on S4HANA 1709.

If you want to export packages and sub packages and all the development objects and take them with you to another SAP system, the best way is with a transport.

Create a Transport in Se10.
A transport of copies is ideal here. Then in se80 write all the objects of a DEV class to a transport. Use the function, right click, write transport entry

Then select the all objects button

Note you will need to repeat this for sub packages. This feature does not traverse sub packages automatically.

Then release your transport.

Now simply pickup the transport files and important to the next system
