[Python] Computed from constant expressions type hints

I would like to define class properties in Python using a dictionary to map property names to their corresponding types. However, when using a naive approach, Pylance reports an error Illegal type annotation: variable not allowed unless it is a type alias. Here is an example of what I am trying to accomplish:

from enum import Enum, auto

class Keys(Enum):
Integer = auto()
String = auto()

types = {Keys.Integer: int, Keys.String: str}

class MyClass:
int_property: types[Keys.Integer] # Error is reported here
str_property: types[Keys.String] # Error is reported here


Is there a way to achieve this kind of structure while still getting correct type hints from Pylance?
