Description

When hovering with the cursor over or CRTL+clicking certain annotation members, it'd be great to get a) a tooltip with more information (type, full signature) and b) jumping to the declaration of that element:
- `@Mapping#source()` / `target()`
- `@InheritConfiguration#name()`
- ...

Hey @larswetzer, WDYT, is it doable?

Start by locating the plug-in's existing annotation hover and navigation handling, then trace how members such as @Mapping#source() and @InheritConfiguration#name() are resolved. Done means supported annotation members show type and full-signature tooltips and navigate to their declarations.
