Repro Code

import { Something } from 'somewhere';
/**
 * Uses the {@link Something}
 */
export class Consumer { }

ESLint Config

module.exports = {
  parser: "@typescript-eslint/parser",
  rules: {
    "@typescript-eslint/no-unused-vars": "error"
  }
};

tsconfig

No response

Expected Result

I expected the {@link Something} to mark Something as used and therefore not fail on line 1

Actual Result

An error on line 1:

'Something' is defined but never used. 1:10 - 1:19

Additional Info

When I Ctrl + click in VSCode my editor jumps to the class definition as expected and TypeDoc will generate links when mentioning a class like this, but it must be imported.
