Expected Behavior

TypeDoc should resolve cross-project links or print a warning when the link cannot be resolved.

Actual Behavior

Cross-project {@link ...}, return types, and parameters are rendered as plain text and no warnings are logged while building.

Steps to reproduce the bug

Sample project.

The sample project above is a monorepo with two projects: main-project and lib-project.

main-project depends on lib-project and TypeScript uses "entryPointStrategy": "packages".

The cross-project link is created as expected when packages/lib-project/tsconfig.json has "types" point to the entrypoint (the .ts file).

The cross-project link is broken when packages/lib-project/tsconfig.json has "types" point to the generated .d.ts file (in packages/lib-project/dist/).

Environment

• Typedoc version: 0.25.2
• TypeScript version: 5.2.2
• Node.js version: v18.13.0
• OS: Ubuntu 23.10
