Now I have to describe it like this:

/**
 * @var array $items = [
 *    'left' => [
 *     'id' => 1,
 *     'date_create' => '2019-07-23 11:47:35',
 *     'date_update' => '2019-07-23 11:47:35',
 *     'url' => '/sdsd/sdsdsd/',
 *     'active' => 1,
 *     'lang' => [
 *         'id' => 1,
 *         'news_id' => 1,
 *         'lang_id' => 1,
 *         'title' => '',
 *         'preview_text' => '<html>',
 *         'detail_text' => '<html>',
 *     ],
 *    ],
 *    'right' => [
 *      'id' => 1,
 *      'date_create' => '2019-07-23 11:47:35',
 *      'date_update' => '2019-07-23 11:47:35',
 *      'url' => '/sdsd/sdsdsd/',
 *      'active' => 1,
 *      'lang' => [
 *           'id' => 1,
 *           'news_id' => 1,
 *           'lang_id' => 1,
 *           'title' => '',
 *           'preview_text' => '<html>',
 *           'detail_text' => '<html>',
 *      ],
 *    ],
 * ];
 */

As you can see, there is a duplication here.
What is the best way to get rid of it so that phpstorm shows the structure and nesting?

If it's just for hints in PhpStorm, then I would recommend using the deep-assoc-completion plugin and not bother with docblock.

As option to describe structure through a class.
