Namely, is there a way to opt out from seeing:

Research direction
Investigate how the language service constructs the member info tooltip for intellisense. Look at files in src/services/ related to quick info and symbol display. The issue requests an option to hide union/intersection type constituents and members of anonymous product types, so focus on the logic that aggregates type details. Review any existing comments in the issue or related issues for maintainer guidance on acceptable implementation approaches.
