path autocompletion
path intellisense
cwd autocompletion

✅ Viability Checklist

My suggestion meets these guidelines:

• This wouldn't be a breaking change in existing TypeScript/JavaScript code
• This wouldn't change the runtime behavior of existing JavaScript code
• This could be implemented without emitting different JS based on the types of the expressions
• This isn't a runtime feature (e.g. library functionality, non-ECMAScript syntax with JavaScript output, new syntax sugar for JS, etc.)
• This feature would agree with the rest of TypeScript's Design Goals.

⭐ Suggestion

An new JSDoc like /* @ts-ignore */ for directory/file autocompletion for an folder (e.g. default: cwd)
e.g.:
Plugin Options:

interface PluginOptions {
  /* @ts-path-autocompletion (optional define path; default: cwd) */
  file: string
}

📃 Motivating Example

It can help to choose the path instead of typing it.
And maybe warn if the path does not exist. (Disabling would be handy for files and folders that are still being created)

💻 Use Cases

IntelliSense for an path in another folder for e.g. webpack plugin options.
