Description

Is there a reason why the Find References results display in a new tab covering up the current file, rather than in an output panel?

It's a bit annoying, and is inconsistent with the way every other search / find refs feature works in every other text editor / IDE...

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the current implementation of find references in the plugin and explore how to display results in an output panel instead of a new tab. Review Sublime Text's API for creating panels and examine similar plugins for reference.
