Description

What is the feature you'd like to have?
Be able to navigate around in a complex function using the basic block labels and other label symbols in the function from the Symbols sidebar pane.

Hard to navigate around a large, complex function using the labels.

Additional Information:
There are 0x45 opcodes handled by this function and now they all have labels. It would be nice to be able to navigate using these labels from the Symbols views:

Research direction

Start at the Symbols sidebar pane and Symbols views, using a complex function with basic-block and other label symbols as the reproduction case. Done means the current function's labels appear there and can be used to navigate around the function; verify against the reported function with 0x45 opcodes.
