Description

See https://ceronman.com/2024/05/28/types-and-self-documenting-code-in-rust/, we should do better here, probably requiring an lsp extension and then re-implementing the references-view extension for our custom handling, https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/blob/fca05df7d4a9ce627919af8cd9fc3a3f2e14e029/extensions/references-view/src/references
