When developing in C/SIDE, the 'Go to Definition' on variables with a complex datatype (pages, tables, codeunits, ...) always opened the 'object'. It didn't point to the variable declaration (globals / locals)
Working in AL with the 'Go to Definition' always navigates / points to the variable declaration first, from where we need to click a second time on the datatype to actually open the object / file.
Please provide VSCode alternative to allow direct navigation / Go to 'object' definition, the same way it was implemented in C/AL.
recCustomer : Record Customer;
recMyISVTable: Record "MY ISV Table"
...
recCustomer.MODIFY; >> Alternative would be appreciated to open the 'Customer' table when
right-clicking on the recCustomer.
recMyISVTable.whatever; >> Alternative would be appreciated to open the 'MY ISV Table' table when right-clicking on the recMyISVTable.
