OK, I had a little play and in Lr, it's a two click trick!

Click the selection tool at the right of the selection tools, then click on the overexposed area, it immediately subdued and became much better, it seems it automatically reduced the highlights by 25%, That is variable and can be adjusted at will or any other adjustment can be made. The size and ovality of the selection can be adjusted too by dragging the edges.



Getting to know the quirks and less obvious features of software can be quite a challenge at times.

Edit: Just found how to show the actual mask area...
