Code inspection: Cannot access static symbol in text argument

Some frameworks use string literals to refer to code symbols such as fields, properties, or methods. A static member cannot always be used in places that expect an instance member. This inspection reports a string-based symbol reference when the referenced symbol is static but the target context requires an instance member.

Example

                class Person
                {
                    public static string FullName => "John Smith";
                }
                // The string is expected to point to an instance member.
                [SomeFrameworkAttribute("FullName")]
                class Example
                {
                }
            

                class Person
                {
                    public string FullName => "John Smith";
                }
                [SomeFrameworkAttribute("FullName")]
                class Example
                {
                }
