Repro Code

Hi there!

I have the following code:

/** * Bla bla {@link MyClass} */exportinterfaceMyInterface{}

I want my jsdoc to include a reference to the class in question, which means I have to import it:

importtype{MyClass}from'./MyClass';/** * Bla bla {@link MyClass} */exportinterfaceMyInterface{}

This works, meaning the link is now properly resolved. Also, tsc understands that I'm using the import and doesn't complain. If I remove the link but keep the import, I get the following error (as expected):

'MyClass' is declared but its value is never read. ts(6133)

So everything's fine on the tsc front. However,no-unused-vars doesn't realize I'm using the import in a jsdoc comment, and complains:

'MyClass' is defined but never used. eslint(@typescript-eslint/no-unused-vars)

ESLint Config

module.exports={parser:"@typescript-eslint/parser",rules:{'no-unused-vars':'off','@typescript-eslint/no-unused-vars':['error',{args:'after-used',argsIgnorePattern:'^_',destructuredArrayIgnorePattern:'^_'}],},};

Expected Result

I would expectno-unused-vars to realize that I'm using the import - albeit only in a jsdoc comment - like tsc does.

Actual Result

no-unused-vars sees that I'm not using the import in the code and complains.
