Java local static method reference shorthand syntax

Is there a shorthand way to get a method reference to a local static method the same way the this keyword or class prefix can be dropped when invoking a method?

The obvious thing would be to use ::myStaticMethod but that does not seem to compile:

class MyClass {
   static void myStaticMethod () {}
   static Runnable runner = ::myStaticMethod; // doesn't compile
      // requires MyClass prefix despite being in the same class
}
