Description

Screenshot_2022-11-03_08-53-17
I want to see the crate name and module names of the Selectors type. I searched in the documentation of this third party crate. But I could not find any type definition. Is there any configuration option to make the rust-analyzer to display full type names instead only the type identifier.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the rust-analyzer type display shown in the screenshot and review the existing configuration and documentation for type-name rendering. The payload names no source file or test; done means providing a configuration option that displays the crate and module names for Selectors rather than only its type identifier.
