Problem

type Example {
   foo: 'bar' | 'baz'
}

/** Documentation generated is just plain text */
function someFunc(v: Example['foo']) {

}

Sorry if there is already some other manner which it can be access with. Although that is the typescript-method so I am assuming not :)

Suggested Solution

The TS compiler API should be providing this information, although I am not versed on how the exact configuration is setup for TypeDoc at the moment.

• MAJOR bonus points if it even grabs the documentation description from that and displays it inline <3

This looks like a duplicate of #1226 to me.

Pulling in the documentation is really tricky. The TS compiler/language server does a ton of magic behind the scenes to get everything to work. I think it is out of scope for TypeDoc. We don't do this anywhere else, and TypeDoc is already plenty complex without trying to duplicate the language service...
