I want to have the player interact with some object in the scene, now my thought is to implement some custom member function(let's call it Action()) in the object's script, and when interaction key is pressed, find a suitable object with Area2D.GetOverlappingBodies() and some custom algorithm, then call the object.Action() to trigger the process, but PhysicsBody2D cannot be casted to the inherited object class, how should I get this done?

You shouldn't have to cast. You can see if the overlapping function has the method "Action" with the has_method("Action") function. If it does, you can call the function and pass in parameters if necessary.
