Description

Repro:

  1. Go to the super() call of a class that extends another multiple times
  2. Peek references on super(), 🐛 it goes to definition
  3. Peek references on the constructor you landed on, it correctly peeks references

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported behavior with a class hierarchy that extends another class multiple times, then compare reference results for the super() call and the constructor it reaches. Done means peeking references from super() finds all relevant constructor calls rather than only other super() calls or navigating to the definition.
