Is it possible to utilize the Evaluate Expression... with Angular Typescript?

I'm just a couple days into learning Angular on a project and am using IntelliJ to hit break points.

The breakpoints are being hit but I'm having the following issues with debugging

1. Unable to see values of the typescript items such as ${someVar}
2. Unable to call the methods at the breakpoints someMethod()

Maybe it is just my lack of understanding how to work with Angular at this time being that I'm new but shouldn't I be able to run these evaluations the same as when doing Java?
