Does Sombra gain Ultimate charge by healing Junkrat's RIP-Tire?
Sombra's Hack ability allows her to increase the spawn rate of Health pickups on the maps, and as per this question she gets 1 point of ultimate charge per 1 point of friendly hero hp healed.
It is also possible for Junkrat's Ultimate Tire to roll over Health pickups and get healed.
If a friendly Junkrat's tire gets healed by a hacked health pickup does the Sombra who hacked it get any Ultimate charge? Or can Sombra only get Ultimate charge by healing herself or friendly heroes?

I can't provide the precise patch notes right now, but I remember that the patch notes revoking the possibility for torbjörn's turret to use med-packs, were stated somewhat along the meaning That nothing but heroes are able to use health packs from that specific patch on.
(IIRC it even stated healing in general (except special means) is reserved for heroes only)
What so ever is the case, for your specific question:
No she can't get charge for healing constructs, since constructs can't be healed by hero designated heals. But of course she can get charge by dealing damage and not only by healing friendly heroes with hacked packs.
