Description

I know rust-analyzer can show document/workspace symbols.
But it's hard to find and navigate among the associated items of implementations of a specified type.

Going to implementation + showing document symbols may help, but it's indirect.

I use neovim with Telescope && nvim-cmp plugged.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by reviewing rust-analyzer's existing document/workspace symbols and go-to-implementation behavior, then determine how associated items of a selected type could be exposed directly; done means users can find and navigate those items without the indirect workflow described.
