The article doesn’t mention “red sprites” and “blue jets”, phenomena also associated with severe thunderstorms. A relationship amongst those phenomena and TGF would be an interesting study.

I read an article a while back that connected one of those kinds of “upper atmosphere lightning” to gamma ray emissions from thunderstorms. It’s plausible that there’s a connection here too.
