The loader proposal linked by the top level comment
does not create strings, it imports them as the string literally type of their contents. That would absolutely 100% work with this project since the content of the imported file is available to the type system.
The reply with the typescript definition for ?raw is unrelated to this project and would neither solve the issue presently nor address it in the future. But if you implemented it in your bundler, it absolutely solves this problem exactly as described, because the imported file can have whatever boilerplate you want around it (like `as const`). This is something that exists and is usable today.
