    const test = {
  'a': ['music','bbq','shopping'] as const,
  'b': ['move','work'] as const
};

type Types = test.a[number] | test.b[number]

    You can do this quite easily using as const:

    const test = {
'a': ['music','bbq','shopping'],
'b': ['move','work']
} as const;

type Elements = typeof test[keyof typeof test][number];

    The only solution I can think of that is not using as const is defining an interface with the exact elements of the arrays:

    interface Foo {
    a: ['music', 'bbq', 'shopping'],
    b: ['move', 'work']
};

type Elements2 = Foo[keyof Foo][number];
