Description
TS Template added by @mjbvz

Often I do a find references search and if the item is only used in one place, cmd+click on it will take me straight to it. However if the item is imported and used, I need to navigate the peek widget, expand the tree entry, then click on it. It would be nice if I can just skip over that if the only other reference is the import.
