Can an icon be added to the left of the interface declaration and methods for quick jumps to related implementations? ( and an icon for quick jump to related Interface)
example from IntelliJ IDEA:
Environment
- Operating System: Linux

- Java extension version: v1.28.1
Steps To Reproduce
- Create a java interface
- Create an implementation of this interface
Current Result
Expected Result
Additional Informations
In Java development, many people are accustomed to using the icons next to Interfaces to jump to the implementations of the interface, or using the related icons inside a Class to jump to the corresponding Interface definition. The support for this feature in vscode-java can facilitate a smoother adaptation to these user habits.
