_> There is no guarantee that if Groovy adds something here that IntelliJ will
indeed implement specialized support._
Well, that's true, but it's much more likely then, because in that case it
would be a bug in IDE. At the moment, it’s debatable whether the IDE should
eagerly execute a transformation from the compilation classpath, which might
not be available on the runtime classpath. :)
Nevertheless, adding yet another target (Element.TYPE) to the @Field annotation
seems a backward compatible and not very invasive change and IMO Groovy
community can benefit from that.
I can submit a pr if you are willing to approve this change. Once merged, I
will add support to IntelliJ Community as well.

> We use undeclared Groovy Scripts together with JUnit for writing unit tests
> because it supports sentences as method names and doesn’t impose restrictions
> on the file name (we need the test script name to match the name of the YAML
> file being tested). This solution works very well; the only downside is that
> in order to use annotations on a field, such as [email protected]_, we
> also need to use [email protected]_, since those annotations typically
> don’t have target = LOCAL_VARIABLE. It would be convenient if _@Field_ could
> be placed on the script class (with _@Inherited_ to support a base script)
> and be automatically applied to all local variables in the script
