Description

Came up in https://github.com/openedx/paragon/pull/4221#discussion_r3501986387

Something like TypeDoc would have a much better "understanding" of the TypeScript types, but be missing most other features we expect on the docs site.

I figure we can work with what we have for now with the current docs site, but we should try to do it better if we're making a new one.

Research direction

Start with the current docs site and the discussion in openedx/paragon#4221, especially the linked TypeDoc example. Define how the new docs site should parse inherited, imported, and extended TypeScript types, then verify that the resulting documentation preserves the other expected docs-site features.
