This is super amazing! It's invaluable to know the space of annotation
data that is available, and in particular, I love the example data from
the last 7 days. Thank you!
Is the example data something that could potentially be fetched in an
aggregate JSON so that searchfox could provide the example data in
"inlay hint" style (ex: what VS Code does for inferred types for rust
analyzer and clangd) in source listings where the
`CrashReporter::Annotation::*` symbols are found in the source? (This
would be an optional display thing, and for this specific case maybe it
would be more likely to end up in a forthcoming sidebar.)
For example, I see there's a call to CrashReport::AnnotateCrashReport at
https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/2fc2ccf960c2f7c419262ac7215715c5235948db/ipc/glue/ProtocolUtils.cpp#76-88
with the `CrashReporter::Annotation::IPCSystemError` symbol used, and we
could hang the example data off that symbol if there's a JSON dictionary
that has the `IPCSystemError` name from
https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/documentation/datadictionary/dataset/annotation/field/IPCSystemError
that we can mangle using a mozilla-central specific config file. Right
now I do see the example data is in
https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/documentation/datadictionary/dataset/processed/field/ipc_system_error
which links to the former, but ideally the information would be directly
coupled or available elsewhere in the JSON object so that searchfox
could do a straighforward lookup in either direction.
Searchfox could also add one or more context-menu options like "Go to
crash stats docs for IPCSystemError" or "Search crash stats for
IPCSystemError" or things like that on the symbol, although that's
separable from having JSON dictionary as long as there's a predictable
URL scheme searchfox can use from the symbol name[1].

1: Disclaimer: The context-menu functionality is still in progress, but
I'm confident about being able to get to that functionality over my
holiday break as it's essential to complete the first round of automatic
diagramming so it can be exposed to users.
