Description

Describe the problem

The docs say:

But the actual type is:

interface InputType {
    name?: string;
    description?: string;
    defaultValue?: any;
    type?: SBType | SBScalarType['name'];
    if?: Conditional;
    [key: string]: any;
}

I'm willing to work on this if it's indeed wrong.

Additional context

Edit: Taking another look at this - you can indeed pass options and control and it does work but it is not documented in the type.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Review the documentation for `argTypes` in the Storybook docs directory. Compare the documented type with the actual `InputType` interface from the Storybook source code. Update the documentation to reflect the correct type, including optional properties like `options` and `control`. Confirm with maintainers that the change is accurate before submitting a PR.
