Description
With the issue https://github.com/eclipse/xtext-xtend/issues/372 hovering/hyperlinknig on Javadoc links has been added to the Xtend IDE.
Hovewer, currently this feature works only for types, not for method references. See also comment from @tivervac .
This functionality should be extended to also work for method references: @see Bar#foo should refer to the foo method in the Bar class.
Example:
package foo
/**
* @see Bar#foo
*/
class Bar {
/**
* Description of the method {@link #foo}
*/
def foo() {}
}

Research direction
