When users click on a variable that is used from a /copy or /include, we take you to the /copy directive.
If you hover over the /copy, you will see the full copy text of include (provided it fits on 1 screen). At the top of the hover we include a hyperlink to that source so users can click and open the source member.
Also, users can use ctrl-click on a /copy or /include to open the source. (If users set open in browse setting, the /copy or /include will be opened in Browse mode.)
(TIP: to quickly see the /copy or /include in your source member, right-click or shift+F10 to get the popup menu, and select "Filter View" select option the option code. Now only code is visible in your source member and you can spot the /copy or /includes much easier. Pressing CTRL+W will reset your filtered view)
We will consider this Idea delivered.

I find it odd that CEAC thinks that it's too tedious to click on an item that is related to a copybook in the outline, have the source positioned to that item, then mouse clicking on the copybook and right-clicking to open the member but having functionality ACTUALLY work is more important.
This is a "very" nice to have but unnecessary, ask.
But they believe working efficiently is not that important, http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=148750.
The CEAC has reviewed this requirement and recommends that IBM view this as a MEDIUM priority requirement that should be addressed.
Background: The COMMON Europe Advisory Council (CEAC) members have a broad range of experience in working with small and medium-sized IBM i customers. CEAC has a crucial role in working with IBM i development to help assess the value and impact of individual RFEs on the broader IBM i community and has therefore reviewed your RFE.
To find out how CEAC help to shape the future of IBM i, see CEAC @ ibm.biz/BdYSYj and the article "The Five Hottest IBM i RFEs Of The Quarter" at ibm.biz/BdYSZT

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