Can't use ValidateLinkOptions inside createFileRoute

[JuanM04]

Which project does this relate to?

Router

Describe the bug

When trying to use the type ValidateLinkOptions or similar (like LinkProps) inside the loader of createFileRoute, I get the error

'loader' implicitly has return type 'any' because it does not have a return type annotation and is referenced directly or indirectly in one of its return expressions.

This seems like a regression, because it worked fine in v1.130.12.

Your Example Website or App

Steps to Reproduce the Bug or Issue

Return something typed as ValidateLinkOptions inside a loader. You must have a route that accepts parameters, like /user/$userId.

Expected behavior

This shouldn't happen, as the return type of a loader shouldn't be related to the route names.
