Description

When I hold down ctrl and hover over a symbol in my editor, I don't get any indication whether I can click to jump to the definition or not.

Most editors underline the symbol when a jump target is available.

Research direction

Start by tracing the editor's ctrl-hover handling for symbols and the path used to determine whether a definition jump is available. The issue's requested behavior is complete when a symbol with a jump target is visibly underlined or highlighted on hover, while symbols without one are not, and the jump still works.
