Description

When clicking on local variables it's possible to highlight all instance of that variable but it's not possible to do the same with class variables.

I think the normal behavior should be Click to highlight and Ctrl+Click or even a Double Click to go to the definition instead.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the highlighting logic for local variables to understand how it works, then extend similar functionality to class variables. Look for the event handlers that trigger highlighting and navigation.
