Does anyone know if there's an existing plugin / system for setting up hyperlink-style navigation inside a code file? I've been dealing with some overly large files recently, and I was thinking it'd be nice to set up a javadoc-style list of function names up top in a block comment, with some kind of editor plugin to jump to the appropriate line number.
What I don't know, is if that sort of behavior is already present in any popular IDE or available in any plugins. I think it'd be a fairly useful tool, but I don't want to go through the effort of writing a plugin if it's already been written.
Apologies if this is slightly off topic, it seems too specific for programmers.stackoverflow.com
IntelliJ IDEA (my favourite IDE) offers Ctrl+Click navigation since long ago.
You ctrl+click on a name of class or function or variable and IDEA takes you to its definition.
It also has "jump to file member" functionality, which, I think, is more than you're looking for (because you can invoke it from any place in a file).
