TypeDoc fails to render TSDoc comments for local objects that are referenced as properties within exported objects.

/**
 * A test object with property a.
 */
const LocalObject = { 
  /**
   * A numeric value representing the first property.
   * @defaultValue 1
   */
  a: 1 
}

export const Options = { LocalObject } // LocalObject's documentation is lost

Search terms

property object, object, documentation lost

Expected Behavior

LocalObject should appear as a documented export with its TSDoc comment visible. The string A test object with property a. should be present in documentation.

Actual Behavior

LocalObject only appears as an undocumented nested property within Options. The documentation for properties of LocalObject is correctly present.
