Research direction

Reproduce the issue in Godot 4.2.1 on Ubuntu using a script with an extends declaration, then trace the editor's Ctrl+left-click lookup-symbol handling. Compare it with right-click lookup and the working Alt shortcut; done when Ctrl+left-click opens the relevant documentation as described.
