A description approach is available in the SmPL manual.
https://gitlab.inria.fr/coccinelle/coccinelle/-/blob/e6f8731b851f5d76d2731a9d546dc4f0b181526e/docs/manual/cocci_syntax.tex#L456-466

I find this information source unclear in the way for pointing a possible property
out for metavariables of the kind “type definition”.
Do they refer to a fixed type name?

Regards,
Markus
