Description
When using the Java Code Lens, or finding references to a class, many times I am not interested in any references in test classes. It would be nice to have a way to filter or easily differentiate references from test classes.
Some ideas:
- Provide an option to filter out references from test classes
- Have a command to be able to quickly toggle the filtering of references from test classes (since this is a setting that would likely be changed frequently based on current work)
- In Java Code Lens, show 2 separate references links - one showing the references from prod code and one showing references from test code

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by locating the Java Code Lens and class-reference handling in the VS Code extension, then compare the proposed filtering option, toggle command, and separate production/test links. Done should mean selecting and documenting one concrete behavior for excluding or distinguishing references from test classes.
