Code Assistant Enhancement for DBlinks

The code assistant helps select columns when an alis is used which is great.

However, as soon as DBlinks are used, it is as if the alias is not picked up so the code assistant does not work.

Can this be remedied?
Workarounds include adding the dblink at then end or using views. However, this can be incorrect if the target schema is different. I understand this may be the very same reason it is not implemented.

As a compromise, I would be happy that the current schema definintions are used instead of the target with the caveat that these may not be aligned.
 
The Code Assistant does indeed not describe objects across a database link. This is on the list of enhancement requests.
 
Do we have any update on this? Is this fixed? I can't seem to find an option to enable it (if there is any) and for me it does not work.
