Does eglot support autocomplete candidates with the same name? (alien.top)

Hi guys, sometimes I try something new to compare with already used packages, this weekend I wanted to try Eglot, however, I ran into a number of problems. One of them is autocomplete.

For example, when I write in vue, I want to autocomplete a watch function. This function is available in the following packages

import { watch } from 'vue';
import { watch } from 'fs';
import { watch } from 'fs/promises'
... etc

But when I use autocomplete in eglot I only see the first candidate - importing from the fs package. Is there any possibility or workaround to display all possible candidates?

Example of autocomplete with eglot

Example of autocomplete with lsp-mode

​

I also know that lsp-mode in conjunction with corfu has a similar problem, but it is impossible to solve it there as the authors of both packages think that the problem is not on their side 😅 Is the situation with eglot the same?

I don't know how that would even work. How do you differentiate between the funcions? Do you do fs.watch, vue.watch and so on? If so, maybe try doing fs.? Shouldn't it popup then?

This implies that I need to know each module and the exact path to it. I would like to be able to see where potential candidates are placed.
