I don't understand how this notion is unsatisfactory for you:
center := ThisP ( 5.0, 7.5 )

........
MODULE Denis2;
	IMPORT Math;
TYPE	
	Point* = RECORD END;
	PointPtr* = POINTER TO Point;
	
	PointPolar* = RECORD (Point) mag : REAL; angle : REAL END;
	PointPolarPtr* = POINTER TO PointPolar;
VAR
	center* : PointPtr;
	
PROCEDURE ThisP(x, y : REAL ) : PointPtr;
	VAR
		aux : PointPolarPtr;
BEGIN
	aux.mag := Math.sqrt(x*x + y*y);
	aux.angle := Math.arctan( y / x );
	RETURN aux
END ThisP;

BEGIN
	center := ThisP ( 5.0, 7.5 )
END Denis2.
