Description

According to the JSDoc documentation you can put a type name after a @throws. Something like @throws {Error}. I would expect the type name to be rendered as a link, but it is rendered as {Error}

Research direction

Start by reproducing the JSDoc example with @throws {Error} and trace TypeScript's JSDoc rendering path; the issue names no source file or test. Done means the type name is rendered as a link rather than the literal {Error} text.
