Usage of Enumeration in "Outline"-View

When we declare fields, files, enumerations etc. we can see them in our Outline-view and click on them to jump to their declaration in the code.
With normal fields, files etc. we also get the references which indicate in which line they are used and we can jump there with a click aswell. (the blue dots)

For enumerations those references are missing.

Since we just discovered enums but want to use them more frequently since "x in enum" instead of "if x = c1 or x = c2 or x = c3" is way cleaner code for us,
it would be nice if we could also get the usage-reference for enumerations.

    Although the theme of this request is consistent with our business strategy, it is not committed to the release that is currently under development.
