💻 Code

For some JavaScript:

// foo.js

export class Foo {}
// index.js

/**
 * {@link import('./foo').Foo Foo}
 * 
 * @param {import('./foo').Foo} foo 
 */
function withFoo(foo) { }
🙁 Actual behavior

The parameter type is resolved but the @link is not

🙂 Expected behavior

Both links should be resolved

Research direction

Start with the JSDoc link handling for the {@link import('./foo').Foo Foo} example in index.js, comparing it with the working @param {import('./foo').Foo} case and the exported Foo in foo.js. Done means both the parameter type and the JSDoc link resolve to Foo.
