Description
I want to write a CustomTransformers for my webpack loader config.
Babel's visitors have API about scope
If I get a path of ImportDeclaration import * as React from "react", I can using path.scope.getBinding('React').referencePaths to get all reference paths using React.
Is there any API in TypeScript to get identifier's scope or referenced nodes/identifiers?
Also, Is there any API in TypeScript to get ImportDeclaration's moduleSpecifier's resolved source file? for example import * as React from "react"'s resolved source file is /home/me/my-ts-project/node_modules/react/cjs/react.development.js

Research direction
Start by investigating the TypeScript compiler API for identifier scope and reference information, then examine how ImportDeclaration module specifiers are resolved. Done means documenting or exposing APIs that provide both referenced identifiers and the resolved source file for an import such as "react".
