Tangential wish - I'd love it if someone figured out a good/generally working way of jumping to definition/references through a URL.

E.g. from `axios.get(`/users/${currentUserId}`) in frontend code jump to `class UserSingleView: def get(self, user_id):` in the backend, and vice versa.

As someone who has worked for years on a UI consuming such information: it's bloody difficult. Each language has its own weirdnesses, you almost always have to build the code to figure out the cross references, and what's correct to the compiler is often non-intuitive to the user. Prime example: C++ code mixing macros and templates. There isn't even a good definition of what the definition is!

I probably do underestimate its difficulty, but certainly appreciate it's bloody difficult. Hence I'd love someone else to do it! I don't have the appetite for it, but it would be fantastic to use.

That is such an annoying thing in codebases. It's the same issue the other way around, I want to see all places in frontend that calls /v1/resource but then some people go and abstract the url into multiple variables.

If it was up to me the constant part of the relative url would never be abstracted away in the codebase. Just a simple grep would instantly get you everything you are looking for.
