I found a source: Megilla 7a, which seems to work on the assumption that
"metamei es hayadayim" is linked to "nichteva beruach hakodesh".

But are they using "ruach hakodesh" in the same sense that we do when we
say that the mishna, gemara, and all the sefarim that were accepted by
klal yisrael until Shach and Taz were written with ruach hakodesh,
or are they using it in a different and higher sense?   1) Was Koheles
written with more ruach hakodesh than the mishnayos, or 2) are mishnayos
metamei es hayodaim, or 3) is the only reason that they're not because
they didn't exist when the gezeira was made?
