Re: [I] Implement `CMD+CLICK` on Symbol Declarations to Find Usages Instantly [netbeans]

   While making everybody happy is not possible, I think it could be useful to understand what other IDEs do to follow a symbol, so to find a good default for the "average developer".
   
   Example CTRL+click in IntelliJ Idea:
   
   <img width="928" height="267" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/b58fc253-b648-41f6-afa7-96bb543cfa42" />
   
   IntelliJ Idea workflow after CTRL+click:
   
   - if there is just 1 usage, it opens the code there
   - if there is more than 1 usage, it shows a popup (screenshot)
   
   I've used a lot of IDEs in my life but I think this (CTRL+click, plus, distinction of number of usages) is really a simple and effective workflow.
