Research direction

Reproduce the example in a TypeScript-aware editor, then trace the language-service path responsible for completions inside JSDoc @link tags. The issue names no files or tests, so first identify the existing completion entry point and related tests; done means locally accessible symbols and import("...") paths are offered in @link tags.
