Research direction

Start by locating the plugin's handling of @InheritConfiguration and @InheritInverseConfiguration, using the example and linked documentation to understand how the name references a method in the same interface. Done means the name value offers completion for matching methods and supports navigation to the referenced method.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

feature

Example code:

@Mapper(unmappedTargetPolicy = ReportingPolicy.IGNORE, componentModel = MappingConstants.ComponentModel.SPRING)
public interface VisitMapper {
    @Mapping(source = "assignedVetId", target = "assignedVet.id")
    @Mapping(source = "petId", target = "pet.id")
    Visit toEntity(VisitDto visitDto);

    @InheritInverseConfiguration(name = "toEntity")
    VisitDto toDto(Visit visit);
}

The @InheritInverseConfiguration#name is referencing a method in the same interface - toEntity().

Would be great to have auto completion and navigation.
