Feature request: Links to message handlers that handle a specific message type, should also work when message is constructed using a builder pattern.

Plugin Version 0.5.2

Using "new" operator works well:

Using builder pattern (in this case Lombok's builder annotation) the linkage is not being detected:

Had some issues accessing the template link mentioned in the issue requestor template.

Hi @NivedanB, thanks for bringing this to our attention! We will discuss how best to handle this and then fix this for 0.6.0

We have discussed this internally, however, it is hard to support this in a correct matter.

Option 1: Add marker on method return types that are a payload
Marking the line and referencing handlers would be easy, however, scanning for them the other way around is not possible to do in a performant manner

Option 2: Scan for gateway/bus method invocations
This could lead to double markers, if first a payload is created and assigned to a variable, and then sent in the bus method.
Scanning for these from handler markers will be interesting to implement since people can implement their own gateways and busses. This would be similar to deadline scanning.

If anyone has another brilliant idea on how to solve this, we love to hear options. If this issue is something you encounter as well, give a thumbs up on the original thread and we'll pick this up with more priority
