In addition to xref and etags I use M-o for imenu-anywhere. It works within all buffers of the same mode and buffers within same project (if you have projectile installed). The benefit is that you don't need any fancy lockup functionality or TAGS. It will work straight away. The drawback is that you need to open the buffers first.
