Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the extension's existing identifier-definition or hover behavior, then clarify the expected interaction and supported identifiers before implementation. Done should mean that pausing over a variable, function, or class name for more than one second reliably opens the requested definition window.
