Contextual menu's Find submenu on controls should include event handlers

If you bring up the contextual menu on a control, you can go to the Find menu item and search for things related to that item. Like, if there is at least one local variable, you can find local variables for that control by picking Local Variables.

 

This also works for finding the control's presence on the other side (front panel vs back panel), and Property Nodes and References and perhaps some other things. But, it doesn't let you find event handlers for that control.

 

It woud be very nice to be able to find the control's event handlers through this submenu.

Close enough?

That's what I now use to do what you are asking for (which I don't think is a new idea, but I may be wrong).

Actually, I was not aware of this one. The one I pointed at allows accessing the event cases by attempting to create them. If they already exist, you are sent to them. That is of course not as direct as the one you are pointing at.

Yes, that would do nicely.

Definitely not a new idea.  There are at least 3 others that link to this one.

Quite - I don't know why my search for previous suggestions came up empty. Maybe I was searching in the wrong subforum by mistake.
