Interaction type is too narrow

Currently the Interaction type is:

export type Interaction<Cached extends CacheType = CacheType> =
  | ChatInputCommandInteraction<Cached>
  | MessageContextMenuCommandInteraction<Cached>
  | UserContextMenuCommandInteraction<Cached>
  | SelectMenuInteraction<Cached>
  | ButtonInteraction<Cached>
  | AutocompleteInteraction<Cached>
  | ModalSubmitInteraction<Cached>;

export type Interaction<Cached extends CacheType = CacheType> =
  | ChatInputCommandInteraction<Cached>
  | MessageContextMenuCommandInteraction<Cached>
  | UserContextMenuCommandInteraction<Cached>
  | SelectMenuInteraction<Cached>
  | ButtonInteraction<Cached>
  | AutocompleteInteraction<Cached>
  | ModalSubmitInteraction<Cached>;

I'm creating a function that takes an Interaction as a parameter, but typescript is reporting errors because the type is too narrow. In my case, I'm trying to input a ContextMenuCommandInteraction, but the type requires either a MessageContextMenuCommandInteraction or UserContextMenuCommandInteraction. Is there any way to use a general ContextMenuCommandInteraction with passing it in like:

someFunction(interaction as MessageContextMenuCommandInteraction | UserContextMenuCommandInteraction);

someFunction(interaction as MessageContextMenuCommandInteraction | UserContextMenuCommandInteraction);

Every time?

@lioness100 are you getting this interaction from the djs interaction create event?

No, but I resolved the problem thanks for your help. I realized I was being silly and didn't need to cast as either context menu type when I could just cast as Interaction
