Today LSP specification support textDocument/references which works with symbol. It would be nice if LSP specification could provide a new LSP feature like file/references to find references from a file selected in the explorer.

Takes a sample with the HTML language server.

Given this HTML file:

<html>
	<link href="foo.css" />
</html>

It would be nice to open the contextual menu from the foo.css and have a Find File References menu

to retrieve the index.html as find file references.

I think there are a lot of language which could use this new file/references feature like:

  • Java
  • XML
  • Template engine which uses include/import mechanism (XSL, Quarkus Qute template engine, etc)
  • other languages which supports textDocument/documentLink

There is a custom implementation for this in VS Code for TypeScript.

Great! It is an another usecase. IMHO I think LSP should provide this feature.
