Notepad ++ - make functions "interactive"?

I just thought it might be useful, but I can't find a way to do this.

Is there a way in Notepad ++ to make function names "clickable" - i.e. make them links, so that if you click on them, it will automatically lead you to its definition (ideally, throughout the code base)?

There is currently no plugin offering names that can be directly clicked. But you can try the SourceCookifier plugin along with some N ++ settings. Open N ++ "contextMenu.xml" and add this line somewhere:

<Item PluginEntryName="SourceCookifier" PluginCommandItemName="Go To Definition"/>

At least the solution is to have it with two clicks> right click> context menu> "Go to definition". I would say just press CTRL + SHIFT + RETURN when the cursor is on a character that also performs "Go to definition", but since you asked for a mouse button approach.

/ EDIT

A plugin update has appeared these days. Here is a snippet from the change log:

0.7.1

-new: option "Go to definition by pressing Ctrl + left mouse button "
