Description
What is the feature you'd like to have?
I'd like to be able to filter Types View to show just the types being used in the current function.
Are any alternative solutions acceptable?
You can "show types at top of function" in the view options, but the I have to go, of course, to the top of the function to look at stuff, and it doesn't include data variables. I suppose adding a right-click option to the Variables Sidebar that would navigate me to the type in Types View so I can edit it could also work, but is less exciting of a solution to me.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the Types View and its existing “show types at top of function” view option, then compare it with the Variables Sidebar behavior described in the issue. Define how filtering to types used in the current function should work, including data variables, and verify that the chosen interaction lets users reach and edit the relevant type.
