Is it possible to hint to intellij that, for example, a string parameter is a method or field name? Intellij has built in behaviour with the reflection library and also the MethodHandles class:
#Custom refactor behaviour in intellij?

So that i could, for example, have a helper function that tries to find a method and returns it in an optional instance (instead of throwing an exception). And then if i were to refactor a method, any code that uses my method wouldn't break (intellij has no idea if that string passed to my method is supposed to be a field, method or just some random string)
Currently it doesn't auto-detect it 😦
