Talking about their strongest areas or inventions can be part of a structured interview.

Not unless you ask. Resumes omit many things due to length constraints, and the candidate might prioritize recent work over quality work if it's too long ago.

Legacy skills are important too, but those details don't always make the cut in both the resume and job description.

Yes well that's what the interviewer is doing: asking things,

And the interviewer can have a question in their list: Ask job applicant about their strongest skills? (And maybe inform the applicant beforehand if they want to think about what to say)
