I wouldn't dare say XML is better in this regard, but a good reason to be conservative with the use of annotations is exactly that cmd+clicking them doesn't easily lead to where the behavior is implemented.

Yeah, fair enough, though it's still not too hard to find where the behavior is implemented if you have access to the source code.

But you're right, cmd+clicking on the annotation just shows where the annotation is defined, not where the behavior is implemented.

Sure. It is just another keyboard command in IDEA.
