Description
Internally we have a mapping between different layers of IL, which enables us to do the selection sync across different panes. This information is also useful for several other cases, e.g., when the user selects an call instruction at the disassembly level and wish to do forward type propagation, I will need to first find the HLIL instruction corresponding to the selected disassembly instruction.

Research direction
Start by tracing the internal IL mapping used for selection synchronization across panes. Identify the public API surface needed to retrieve the HLIL instruction corresponding to a selected disassembly instruction, then check how that information would support forward type propagation. Done means the mapping information is exposed for the stated use cases and its behavior is documented.
