Descriptor

Parser
public static MessageParser<TypeReference> Parser { get; }
TypeName
public string TypeName { get; set; }
The name of the type that the annotated, generic field may represent.
If the type is in the same protobuf package, the value can be the simple
message name e.g., "MyMessage". Otherwise, the value must be the
fully-qualified message name e.g., "google.library.v1.Book".
If the type(s) are unknown to the service (e.g. the field accepts generic
user input), use the wildcard "*" to denote this behavior.
See AIP-202 for more details.
