Angular - using template variables in @if

This only works when I assign 'this.signal().object?.nestedObject' to a variable in a class, in Angular.

Type Narrowing Does Not Work

@if(isTypeA(this.signal().object?.nestedObject)) {
{{ this.signal().object?.nestedObject.TypeAUniqueProperty }}
} @else if (isTypeB(this.signal().object?.nestedObject)){
{{ this.signal().object?.nestedObject.TypeBUniqueProperty }}
}


Type Narrowing Works

@if(isTypeA(variable)) {
{{ variable.TypeAUniqueProperty }}
} @else if (isTypeB(variable)){
{{ varble.TypeBUniqueProperty }}
}


Is it possible to assign this.signal().object?.nestedObject to an Angular template variable. It used to be possible with the old ngIf? This elimnates the need to set up variables in the class

UPDATE

I could only do this, by using an outer @if.

@if(this.signal().object?.nestedObject; as templateVariable) {
@if(isTypeA(templateVariable)) {
{{ templateVariable.TypeAUniqueProperty }}
} @else if (isTypeB(templateVariable)){
{{ templateVariablet.TypeBUniqueProperty }}
}
}
