Can I have a typehint for array of SomeObject when using list?

Question

I have a method generating an array of SomeObject[].

/**
 * @return SomeObject[]
 */
private function thatMethod()
{
    ...
    return [$someObject, $someOtherObject, $yetAnotherObject]
}

Yet when I read the object via list

list($someObject, $someOtherObject, $yetAnotherObject) = $this->thatMethod();

I lose typehint for those objects. I have to typehint them explicitly via @var SomeObject $someObject. I rather not do it this way.

Is there a way to get typehints working when using list in PhpStorm9?

PhpStorm cannot do such thing at the moment.

There is a the ticket to look after. Star/vote/comment to get notified on progress.
