Description

### Description

_Go to Implementation_ (Ctrl+Alt+B) exists in the context menu in the editor (under _Navigate_), but is missing in the main _Navigate_ menu. The main menu has _Go to Source/Declaration/Super Implementation_ and _Inspect_, while the context menu additionally has _Go to Implementation_. It would be useful to make the main menu consistent with the context menu here.

### Use case/motivation

Since the main menu has _Go to Super Implementation_, it makes sense for it to also have _Go to Implementation_. The main menu is more obvious/accessible than the context menu, and it is also helpful to look up keyboard shortcuts more quickly.

Research direction

Start by comparing the editor context menu's Navigate actions with the main Navigate menu, focusing on the existing Go to Implementation action and its Ctrl+Alt+B shortcut. Locate the menu/action registration used by these entries and expose the same action in the main menu; done means both menus provide Go to Implementation and the shortcut remains discoverable.
