## Escape hatch: DynamicDependencyAttribute annotation

This is an existing custom attribute (known as `PreserveDependencyAttribute`) understood by the linker. This attribute allows the user to declare the type name, method/field name, and signature (all as a string) of a method or field that the method dynamically depends on.
This is an existing custom attribute (known as `DynamicDependencyAttribute`) understood by the linker. This attribute allows the user to declare the type name, method/field name, and signature (all as a string) of a method or field that the method dynamically depends on.

When the linker sees a method/constructor/field annotated with this attribute as necessary, it also marks the referenced member as necessary. It also suppresses all analysis within the method.
See issue https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/issues/30902 for details.
