Short summary of your issue

It fails to generate the HTML a tags (links) for references to a Class with full namespace (with dots). See the example below.

Is there an alternative to solve this?

Input data for reproducing

Configuration

basic configuration using esdoc-standard-plugin and esdoc-ecmascript-proposal-plugin

Codes

/**
 *
 * @class My.Library.Manager
 *
 */
export class Manager {}

/**
 *
 * @class My.Library.Account
 *
 */
export class Account {
    /**
     *
     * @param {My.Library.Manager} manager
     *
     */
    constructor(manager) {}
}

Output data

it should generate the link (a tag) in the Account's constructor but it doesn't.

it does generate correctly when I remove the namespace part "My.Library."

I found out the way. Replacing @Class with @typedef

[fab1o]

If I use @typedef instead of @Class the link works, but the I loose all the documentation of the class including its method, constructor, etc... Is there a way to have the class and the typedef working at the same time, so I can get the links?
