Specific Custom Highlight Groups

[Nate Amack]

Describe the bug
I am trying to control the theming overrides for a treesitter capture group. For example, I'd like to override @keyword.coroutine color. I am able to update the @keyword highlight groups using the information provided in the theming docs, but more specific highlight groups are not applied.

To Reproduce

1. Find capture group info by running :Inspect

2. Update theme overrides using the capture group

M.ui = {
  theme = "radium",
  hl_override = {
    --  This capture group works
    ["@keyword"] = { italic = true, fg = "blue" },

    -- This capture group does not work
    ["@keyword.coroutine"] = { fg = "red" },
  }
}

3. Restart nvim
4. Syntax highlighting works for @keyword but does not work for @keyword.coroutine

Expected behavior
Theme overrides should also apply to more specific capture groups.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• Operating System
  • macOS Sonoma 14.4.1
• Terminal
  • iTerm 2 Build 3.4.23
• Version of Neovim
  • v0.9.5

Additional context
There's a good chance I'm barking up the wrong tree. Is it possible to override more specific highlight groups? Or are we limited to the top level link (in this case @keyword)?
