Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'd like to be able to jump to definition in a split pane when doing gd, something like gD maybe ?
Describe the solution you'd like
gD (or some other keybinding) should open a split pane if not opened already, else if opened, jump to definition there. Not sure if VSCode API allows such a thing.
Thanks a lot for the help !

Research direction
Start by tracing the existing gd definition-jump behavior and checking the VS Code API for split-pane and editor navigation support. Confirm how keybindings can distinguish an already-open split pane from the current editor. Done means a documented keybinding opens or reuses a split pane and jumps to the definition there.
