Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. When analysing the code, often there are long lists of Used By, Exposed By, & Extension Methods etc. Each one in those lists usually has a long signature. It's actually hard to spot the type names (classes, structs, & interfaces) which are the key info. Making them bold in the lists will make the readability better & eyes feel relieved.

Describe the solution you'd like In the below screenshot of the Analyze panel, If all the type names, IConfiguration, ConfigurationExtensions, IConfigurationRoot, & IConfigurationSection etc., were in bold or underline, it'd be much helpful when checking through these long lists. image

Research direction
Look at the Analyze panel's XAML code to locate where type names (classes, structs, interfaces) are displayed. Apply bold font weight (FontWeight="Bold") to those TextBlock elements. The issue screenshot shows specific examples like IConfiguration. Test the change locally and submit a PR.
