'Is it possible to setup live typescript type checking in Vscode virtual workspaces

I am using Vscode to edit my typescript projects in virtual workspaces which I am connecting to through SSH FS extension.

Whilst benefitting from the convenience of remote access I have had to forego all of the benefits of live typescript checking that Vscode automatically provides for projects in local storage.

Is there a way to combine the best of both worlds and have live typescript checking in virtual projects? I realise this is out of scope of vscode usage and that documentation suggests its not possible (at least not by design), but vscode seems super flexible so I am wondering if anyone has been able to achieve this?
