For me the absence of a call hierarchy function in the AL Language extension for Visual Studio Code is a limiting factor in my coding capabilites and the quality of the code I write.
At the moment I have to use "Find Reference" as a workaround - problem with this is that I have to jump manually between different callers (and their children) and therefore quite often miss invocations.
In my opinion a call hierarchy functionality could be implemented based on the "Find Reference" feature with children added for example (but I'm no UI/UX expert).
I hope you'll agree with me that the addition of a call hierarchy would be a real boon for the AL Language extension.
Comments
I like it, slightly related, is to have the ability for a global admin to set/alter the execution order of event subscribers coming in from different installed extensions and possibly a smart list showing any conflicts between these.
Maybe we can't combine the two ideas, but they can complement each other.

To give you a better Idea here's the past preview from VSC for the feature in general:
