Description

In Intellij Idea the default behavior for Ctrl+Click on a method name in a method definition is to show all usages / references.
I think it is intuitive to offer a quick way to show usages / references in this context and since I used Idea for a project for a bit I miss this option in Eclipse.

To be added here:

Currently reachable with right click:

I could even see also adding "Open Type Hierarchy" and removing "Open Return Type" as the return type is available to Ctrl+Mouse1 just a few pixels away. I personally can't see many people using "Open Return Type" but maybe I'm totally off base there.
