Description

Consider this module:

#lang racket

(class object%
  (super-new)
  (struct bad (value))
  (bad-value (bad 0)))

(struct good (value))
(good-value (good 0))

If you mouse over value in the second struct defintion, drracket will draw an arrow from value to good-value but it will not draw an arrow from the value field of the first struct definition to the occurrence of the bad-value accessor.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the provided module in DrRacket and compare the identifier arrows for the struct defined inside the class with those for the top-level struct. Done means the class-local field occurrence connects to its accessor, with renaming behavior matching the top-level case.
