Rename and fine all references of Typescript's string literal values

Type script string literals allow to have a code such as

//interfaces.d.ts
type Options = "option 1 " | "option 2" 

//file.ts
let myOption: Options = "option 1" // "option 3" will give us an error, right in the IDE.

It would be nice to be able to rename and find all references of a specific value. e.g. find/rename all occurrences of "option 1". Currently we can only find the references of the type itself.

so should we rename all literal types "option 1" or just the ones from this declaration?

for example:

type Options = "option 1" | "option 2"
let myOption: Options = "option 1" // rename here,

function foo(a: "option 1") { } // should this be renamed as well?
