Restrict "Find All References" to variant constructions

[smoelius]

Today, if you hover over an enum variant and click "Find All References", the results will include patterns in match arms, for example.

Is there a way to restrict the results to only places where the variant is constructed?

No. The problem is that the LSP spec does not have the possibility to filter on this (we can have an extension with a custom command, though).

Sorry, what does that mean?

[ChayimFriedman2]

An LSP extension is some functionality we provide that is not specified in the LSP spec.

There's a way you can do so for variants with fields, like

enum E {
    Foo$(i32),
    Bar${ x: bool },
    Baz, // You cannot do so with this variant
}

triggering "go to definition" - iirc, the default keybinding is Shift + F12 in vs-code - while the cursor is on the $ position above, it just shows the construction sites only.

You can do the similar thing for the structs with fields.

Thanks!
