How to declare types when importing within a JSDoc type?

There is a way to declare types when importing:

// @deno-types="./coolLib.d.ts"
import * as coolLib from "./coolLib.js";

— https://deno.land/[email protected]/typescript/types#providing-types-when-importing

But how do you do the same when importing within a JSDoc type?

For example in x.js:

/** @param {import("foo").Foo} foo A foo. */
function x(foo) {
  // …
}

In the above situation, if Foo is a type that comes from a .d.ts file and isn't actually a named export in the ESM module, trying to import the x.js module in a TypeScript module with type checking enabled will cause a TS error: TS2694 [ERROR]: Namespace '__' has no exported member 'Foo'..

I don't believe there is a way for doing this at the moment, but similar to microsoft/TypeScript#33437 we should try to get a solution in the TS compiler for doing this.

@kitsonk did #13173 somehow helped with this issue?
