Description

In vscode, when I control-click on an identifier in infoview, it jumps to definition.

It would be nice if this worked in lean4web also. I assume a similar interception would have to be added to the way that identifiers in the editor pane jump to mathlib docs.

Research direction

Start by tracing how identifier clicks are handled in the infoview and editor pane, using the existing VSCode behavior and mathlib documentation jump as references. Determine how definitions are resolved and what the corresponding lean4web navigation should be; done means control-clicking an infoview identifier jumps to its definition as expected.
