Quick actions for more than just class/function

Problem

Quick actions are extremely useful. One of the things I use them for is drafting documentation comments. Because I use typescript, I often want to write documentation for types, but quick actions currently only support classes and functions. For example:

//no quick action here
interface DebugRoutes {
  [key: string]: boolean;
}

//no quick action here
const DEBUG_ROUTES: DebugRoutes = {
  "/user/nitawicker": true,
};

//quick action shows up here
export default async function apiFetch(path: string, options?: RequestInit): Promise<Response> {
  let url = `${process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_BACKEND_URL}${path}`;

  //Check if we're in development mode and this route should return test data
  if (process.env.NODE_ENV === "development") {
    if (DEBUG_ROUTES[path]) {
      console.log("Debug route enabled for", path);

      url = `http://localhost:3000/api/test-data?route=${encodeURIComponent(path)}`;
      return fetch(url, { ...options, method: "GET" });
    }
  }

  //otherwise return real data
  return fetch(url, options);
}

I am using VSCode with Continue.dev v0.8.50.

Solution

I think it would be best to solve this by letting the user define a list of places to show quick actions for. It could default to ["class", "function", "arrowFunction"] to preserve the current behavior.
