How can I view device-specific properties in the code suggestions of a device in Image Acquisition Toolbox and MATLAB R2024b?

I am using MATLAB R2024b and Image Acquisition Toolbox to configure device-specific properties of an image acquisition device.
Using a "videosource" object, I want to leverage tab completion to get a list of the device's properties. In the MATLAB Editor, I use the following code to see the list of properties:

>> vid = videoinput("winvideo");
>> src = getselectedsource(vid);
>> src.
However, when I press the "Tab" key after typing the dot, the device-specific properties do not appear in the list of code suggestions.
How can I view the device-specific properties using tab completion?

As of MATLAB R2024b, this is expected behavior. Since device-specific properties vary for each device, these properties are unknown until a connection to the device is established. Therefore, MATLAB is unable to display the device-specific properties until the device is connected.

However, the device-specific properties will be displayed if a connection to the device has been established and a "videosource" object exists in the workspace. This can be accomplished by executing the connection code before using tab completion on the "videosource" object.
