### Description Hello, Please consider adding ability to preview definition of the method or property "inline" without leaving context of the current method you are working on. Use case: I am working on a large and complex method. I need to execute some other method from other file of library. I want to see implementation details of this method. Or I want to see how exactly some property was defined and it's definition is not currently on the screen. Currently to see such details I will use "ctrl+click" on the method and I will navigate to method definition. Later to return to my "previous" position I can use "alt+left". However such approach means that I jump between files or different places inside single file. If I could "preview" definition of method or property is a popup window without leaving current "context" (navigating to some other place) it will be more convenient. Examples: VSCode: open definition in a popup window. I can see details I am interested in without leaving current place where I make code chanegs^  In Eclipse you have similar functionality "shift+hover". In Idea you have similar functionality "ctrl + shift + I" Thanks, Serhiy ### Use case/motivation Ability to view method or property definition without leaving context of the current window is convenient. As current workaround you can use "Ctrl+click" to navigate to definition and use "alt+left" to return to previous position. However you still navigate between parts of the same file or go to the other file and this slightly distracts since you are switching contexts. ### Related issues _No response_ ### Are you willing to submit a pull request?
