Within a class, is there a way to bind a class attribute to a method parameter so that a two-way link is established on Ctrl click?

class Attachments extends Repository { public Documents $documents; public function fromDocuments(callable $scope) { $this->scopeOnRepoProperty($scope, 'documents'); } } 

What I mean is that in this case the second parameter documents in the scopeOnRepoProperty() method should refer to the property $documents.

The broader context is:
The problem is that a large part of the code is very similar, i.e. most scopeXXX/fromXXX methods do something similar, i.e. properties repository is passed as a parameter to the method. For example, in the above example, $scope($this->documents) would be executed; furthermore, if $this->documents was not initialized, a new instance would be created.

So the code looks like this:

public function fromDocuments(callable $scope) { if (!isset($this->documents)) { $this->documents = new Documents(); } $scope($this->documents); } 

I wanted to avoid writing an if statement, creating a new object, and calling a method every time, so I thought I could do it with a method that would accept a callable object, a property name, and a type reflection class name.

The code runs fine, but unfortunately due to this approach I lose the binding to these properties. In previous versions, it was $this->documents, so the link was present, but that is no longer the case.

I would like to know if there is any way to achieve this. Any ideas?
