<p>It would be possible to have separate lexer styles for function calls, distinguished when they are part of an attribute access expression, as well as field/property accessors. But for the reasons <a class="user-mention" data-hovercard-type="user" data-hovercard-url="/users/elextr/hovercard" data-octo-click="hovercard-link-click" data-octo-dimensions="link_type:self" href="https://github.com/elextr">@elextr</a> mentioned, there's no way to really be sure (semantically) what those things are/refer to, it would literally just be based on the tokens in the file and looking for a sequence like <code>IDENT DOT IDENT LPAREN arguments_list* RPAREN</code> or whatever.</p>
<p>That said, any work on the lexer/highlighting needs to first be done in <a href="https://www.scintilla.org/" rel="nofollow">Scintilla</a> (where the lexer comes from), and should be opened as a <a href="https://sourceforge.net/p/scintilla/feature-requests/" rel="nofollow">feature request</a> there, assuming none such exists. For this reason combined with what <a class="user-mention" data-hovercard-type="user" data-hovercard-url="/users/elextr/hovercard" data-octo-click="hovercard-link-click" data-octo-dimensions="link_type:self" href="https://github.com/elextr">@elextr</a> said, I'm going to close this Issue.</p>
