9 years ago - I get what your saying, using a class as a Hyperlink to that file. So Ctrl+Click would open the corresponding class (If included). As for method/var/ect I don't see that functionality helping much unless you mean from the corresponding class which was selected. Eclipse has this functionality and I've thought of adding something similar.
- That could be included in the right click event on the syntax pane, which I've been thinking of including editing.
- So history tracking like most recent windows opened? That would be cool and 3 would incorporate 4 when adding.

An idea about improving the classes navigation functionality in the tool as follows:
1) Once you have a java class opened, you have java methods, classes instances, variables, etc etc on the right panel.
So how about this: if the user press down lets say [CTRL] button then click over some java class/method/var/etc) - Luyten will catch that event, will analyze the clicked token and will try to figure out if the currently opened tree items has that element (lets say user clicked over available java class) and then, the Luyten will navigate to the clicked object by opening a new tab (or activating the previously opened..)
2) Once feature number 1 will be available, add support for the popup menu for the underlying token - add lets say "Go to ..." menu item that will do the same steps as in step 1)
3) Once number 1 will be available, add history tracking like this: keep the object jumps in history list (internally) and allow user to navigate forward and backward over that history lets say using well-known key combination like [ALT} + [->](right arrow) and [ALT] + [<-} each combination will make user really happy cause that the intuitive way of sources browsing!
4) Once 3) will be available, consider adding Navigate forward/backward as menu items in main menu
