Yes, it's possible.

An alternative is to have a return type of Observable<TModel> | undefined, which will work well with strict null checks:

function myFunction(): string | undefined {
    return Math.random() < 0.5 ? "" : undefined;
}

const myString = myFunction();
myString.charAt(0);  // error
myString!.charAt(0); // ok

if (typeof myString === "string") {
    myString.charAt(0); // ok
}
