PHPStorm Automatically populate array keys (dynamically inserted)

Question

I use a Pimple dependency injector, and every time I use a container dependency, I can't help checking the spelling of the key used to get the dependency:

$ioc = new Pimple();

// 1. Define some object
$ioc["some-key"] = $ioc->share(function($c){ /* ... */});

// 2. Use it
$ioc["som... // Open config file and check spelling...

Does PHPStorm have some way to find these properties and provide auto-complete? I examined the definition of all these keys using something like

define('SOME_KEY', 'some-key');

// ...

$ioc[SOME_KEY] = $ioc->share(/* ... */);

but I wonder if there is a better way.

Edit

Here is a sample code:

// project_root/library/App/Injector/Ioc.php
require_once "Pimple.php";

/** @var array|Pimple $ioc */
$ioc = new Pimple();

$ioc["version"] = "1.0.1650.63";

$ioc["location-service"] = $ioc->share(function ($c) {
     return new Application_Service_Location();
   }
);

It turns out that line completion works fine, regardless of whether I include the / ** @var array | Pimple $ ioc * / before declaring $ ioc in the same file since $ ioc is declared. However, since I use the Zend Framework, I usually use $ ioc:

// project_root/Application/Bootstrap.php
class Bootstrap extends Zend_Application_Bootstrap_Bootstrap {
   protected function _initInjector() {
     $ioc = null;
     require_once LIBRARY_PATH . "/MFM/Injector/ioc.php";
     Zend_Registry::set("ioc", $ioc);
   }
}

// project_root/Application/Controllers/SomeController.php
class Application_Controller_SomeController extends Zend_Controller_Action {
   public function IndexAction() {
      /** @var Pimple $ioc */
      $ioc = Zend_Registry::get("ioc");

      // No IDE assistance for the string "location-service"
      $service = $ioc["location-service"];
   }
}
