Open /COPY and copy book members with right click->/Copy member > Edit when /Copy member is stored in IFS

In ?Rational Developer for i? is a function for opening /COPY and /INCLUDE files by pointing at the source line where the copy is definded, right clicking and choosing Source > /COPYmember > Edit. This is working only when the Source is stored at a special point in QSYS file system.
Therefore I would recommend implementing this function to work for files stored in IFS too. Rational Developer is already accessing these ifs files for content assist and outline view. It would be great if lpex is searching for the copy files in the same way content assist and outline view does for finding and opening them by the above described way!


Use Case:

- store include files in IFS
- easy access of included files no matter where they are saved
