This has been implemented when the Standard Doclet is running without DocLint in [JDK-8284030](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8284030), but needs to be implemented in DocLint as well. It was necessary to limit the behaviour to `{@link}` or `@see`tags since references to non-declared types are allowed within the `@serialField` taglet.

Consider adding a case of a primitive array, which while relates to primitives is also an object.
