Description
For example, a map of status code to some table.
local my_status_code_map = {
-- attached docs
-- attached docs (continued)
[200] = { something = "here" }
}
local foo = my_status_code_map[200]
-- ^^^^^--- i'd like to be able to hover here to get the docs attached to `[200]` in the table

Research direction
