It doesn’t look Kotlin has similar utility code. But you can write your own, it’s quite simple. Look at KtSimpleNameReference. It has bindToElement function. Use it for fully qualified references to bind to classes to which it actually refers, with second parameter ShorteningMode.DELAYED_SHORTENING you will shorten all such references with adding appropriate import declarations. Delayed is required if you need to do bulk update, otherwise it can cause performance problems as new analyze will work with dropped caches after first shortening.
