Description

I need to be able to get the package name and type name for any given Protobuf object, but I can't find this metadata anywhere in the code. In e.g. the C# plugin, this is available in the ProtosReflection.FileDescriptor property.

Am I missing something or is this functionality just not available?

Research direction

The issue names no JavaScript files, tests, or entry points. Begin by locating where generated Protobuf objects are defined and compare available metadata with C#'s ProtosReflection.FileDescriptor; done would mean package and type names can be obtained for any such object.
