Hover and hyperlink in RPGLE support for like, likeds, etc in D specs

In D specs, we can refer to other definitions such as in like, likeds, dim, based, overlay.
For instance:
d Z_CustInfo ds qualified template
d id 10i 0
d description 50a varying

d maxCust c 10

d customers ds likeds(Z_CustInfo) dim(maxCust)

When I hover on maxCust inside the dim on the customers definition, it should show me the info on maxCust instead of that of customers. The same for Z_CustInfo.
As well the hyperlink on those elements should go to that element definition.


Use Case:

see description.
