Another favourite that I'd been missing since switching from Eclipse (back around Eclipse 3.6/4.2 days) is Field Call Hierarchy. Cursor on a data element and get the 'call hierarchy' from it.

Of course fields aren't 'called' per se, so JetBrains didn't do this. I'd been promoting issue IDEA-160274 where ever I could and now you can cursor on a field and press Ctrl+Alt+H (macOS) and see references to that field, and then selectively expand those references in a caller tree.
