Research direction

The issue names no files or tests. Start by locating the existing IntelliSense path for JSDoc @param parameters and the language-service completion entry point, then trace how an empty {@link } position is handled. Done means suggestions appear at the demonstrated position, with regression coverage for JSDoc @link completions.
