Hi, I want to get the modifiers of a variable, when it is used, can I do that?

Resource@modifiers <Entity methodOrField, Modifier>:

  <entity([
      package("subfolder"),
      class("Const"),
      field("JASPER")
    ]),static()>,
  <entity([
      package("subfolder"),
      class("Const"),
      field("JASPER")
    ]),final()>

Resource@methodBodies: <Entity method, AstNode body>:

qualifiedName("Const.JASPER")[@javaType=entity([primitive(int())]

Resource@fields: <loc fileAndPosition, Entity field>

<|project://SampleJava/src/subfolder/TestX.java|(365,6,<-1,-1>,<-1,-1>),entity([
      package("subfolder"),
      class("Const"),
      field("JASPER")
    ])

Resource@fieldDecls: <loc fileAndPosition, Entity field>

  <|project://SampleJava/src/subfolder/Const.java|(45,36,<-1,-1>,<-1,-1>),entity([
      package("subfolder"),
      class("Const"),
      field("JASPER")
    ])>

Big question is, if I encounter a qualifiedName of type int in an AstNode, how can I easily extract the modifiers for it? Somewhere should also be a field constructor containing the modifiers, but that is not in the methodBodies, because it's on class level.
