'this' scope in regular function vs arrow function

myRegFunc refers to this with local scope limited to users object. However, myArrowFunc instead refers to this with global scope. Is there a way to reference the same this information in the arrow function as is available from the regular function?

So the arrow func cannot bind to the local this? However, is it possible to still get the local this information through the global this? For example: global this.something.something ... = the local this.

const users = {
  name: 'John',
  myRegFunc: function() {
    console.log('myRegFunc : ', this);
  },
  myArrowFunc: () => console.log('myArrowFunc this: ', this),
};
users.myRegFunc();
users.myArrowFunc();

Output:

myRegFunc :  {name: 'John', myRegFunc: ƒ, myArrowFunc: ƒ}
arrowFunc.js:34 myArrowFunc this:  Window {window: Window, self: Window, document: document, name: '', location: Location, …}
