Description
One feature I miss from RStudio is the easy navigation to an (unnamed) code chunk, especially when I need to debug. RStudio has a nice code chunk navigation tool (whether named or unnamed):
but currently Positron / VScode quarto doesn't support this.
Quato doesn't show the code line numbers so I have to make a best guess when there's an error in the code. I'm wondering if there's easy way to jump directly to a specific code chunk? If not enabled, could this be considered to be implemented in the future? Thank you.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the Quarto VS Code/Positron integration for code chunks and compare its behavior with RStudio's named and unnamed chunk navigation. Done means users can jump directly to both kinds of chunks and identify the relevant code location for errors.
