Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm always frustrated when I can't click the references at the end of the document and see where something is cited. It would be great to click on, say, [HTML] and see where it was cited from.

Describe the solution you'd like
In the dfn panel, it would be great to have where a citation happened show up there... same as dfns.

Describe alternatives you've considered
None.

Can you or your organization fund the work or help with development?
No.

Research direction

Start by locating the dfn panel implementation and the code that renders bibliographic references in the document. Compare the existing dfn behavior with reference links, then define done as clicking a reference opening the panel and showing where that citation occurs.
