Description

According to the JSDoc documentation you can put a type name after a @throws. Something like @throws {Error}. I would expect the type name to be rendered as a link, but it is rendered as {Error}

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how TypeScript's JSDoc parser and renderer handle @throws tags with type names, and modify the rendering logic to convert type names inside curly braces into hyperlinks.
