Description
XAML is very powerful but also very verbose and shuttling around complex layouts with many controls can be cumbersome, as a quality of life improvement, perhaps a setting/option (as the behaviour may not be appreciated by everyone) could be added to enable jumping to the XAML location of a control when that same control is clicked in the previewer? (even in the case of a drop down, the previewer could complete its default onclick action before jumping to the code location) That would drastically improve efficiency and workflow when dealing with large XAML files...
Thank you for your consideration. I feel this would be an incredible addition to this project, I only wish I had the time in my schedule to implement it because it would save me so much time.

Research direction
The payload names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the previewer click-handling and XAML navigation paths, then determine how an opt-in setting could preserve the control's default action before jumping. Done means a configurable previewer behavior that navigates to the clicked control's XAML location.
