Description
These features ( Go To Implementation / Go To Inheritor ) are provided by JetBrains PHPStorm, and they makes DX way much better specially when dealing with a large OOP code base.
hh_client is fully capable of listing inheritance ancestors, and children, using --inheritance-ancestor*, and --inheritance-children modes , which could be used to implement those features.

Research direction
Start by examining the VS Code extension entry points for navigation features and how it invokes hh_client. Investigate the --inheritance-ancestor* and --inheritance-children modes, then implement Go to Implementation and Go to Inheritor navigation. Done means users can invoke both features on Hack symbols and navigate to the reported ancestors or children.
