Does Intelephense support multiple @return types?

[BernhardBaumrock]

In advance: Thx for your help and the awesome extension!!

I'm using the ProcessWire CMS in my everyday work. ProcessWire has a base class Wire that almost every other class extends. The Wire base class has a wire() method that can return several objects:

• The current ProcessWire instance if called with no argument
• Several derived classes if an argument was provided, eg $this->wire('files') would return a WireFileTools object

Here is the definition: https://github.com/processwire/processwire/blob/d8945198f4a6a60dab23bd0462e8a6285369dcb9/wire/core/Wire.php#L1710

@return ProcessWire|Wire|Session|Page|Pages|Modules|User|Users|Roles|Permissions|Templates|Fields|Fieldtypes|Sanitizer|Config|Notices|WireDatabasePDO|WireHooks|WireDateTime|WireFileTools|WireMailTools|WireInput|string|mixed

The Problem

$this->wire()->... does not suggest anything useful:

This is how it should look like:

Calling $this->wire (using the wire property instead of the wire method) works because of a different phpdoc: https://github.com/processwire/processwire/blob/d8945198f4a6a60dab23bd0462e8a6285369dcb9/wire/core/Wire.php#L61

But I'd really like my Intelephense to understand wire() calls, because that's the way it is used everywhere in the core of ProcessWire.

PHPStorm does understand what's going on because of this meta file: https://github.com/processwire/processwire/blob/master/wire/core/.phpstorm.meta.php

Any ideas what would be the best direction to tackle this problem? I wonder if Intelephense should return all possible methods that are part of all possible return types of the method? Or maybe just return the first one listed as default?

Thx again!

If you rewrite the meta file in the newer phpstorm format it will be understood.

Closing this one as it can be solved with phpstorm meta. Looking at changing the minimal type reduction that's probably happening here in #1711
