While writing code, there are two tooltips - intellisense and argument completion. The latter can be triggered automatically or manually, depending on settings.

I'm looking at the accessibility of these tooltips with a screenreader, there are 5 different types of content to discuss - see screenshots below.
A - intellisense autocomplete. This plays nicely with NVDA, reading the list of suggestions if you pause typing.
B - intellisense docs. I have not managed to get this read out by NVDA
C - intellisense links. I have not managed to select these with NVDA
D - argument completion docs. I have not managed to get this read out by NVDA
E - argument completion links. I have not managed to select these with NVDA

Are there any shortcuts I am missing, or navigation strategies?

Are any/all of these intended to be screen reader accessible, or is the information available elsewhere? (in which case it would be good to have a deliberate decision and this be documented)
