Have the Perform Hierarchy be able sync the code of the paragraph tha is being performed

Have the perform hierarchy view give me the ability to go into the actual paragraph. Today I can only get to the Perform statement. I can not easily see the code in that paragraph.

In my use case I perform a paragraph called A120-DO-STUFF. Since there is no call or performs in it, I don't have a way to see what he code in that paragraph is doing. If there is a call in that paragraph, I can click on the call and get into that paragraph. I would like to see something under the nesting so I can click on it and get into the paragraph code. In my use case, how do I see what the code is doing in A120-DO-STUFF from the perform hierarchy?

    The Perform Hierarchy view is a tree graphic that displays program control flow by showing the statements where program logic branches from the current execution path. As you described, double clicking on the statements in the Perform Hierarchy tree brings you to the location in the source where the logic branch occurs. If the logic branch results from a Perform statement then immediately following the double click, you can press F3 to use the Open Declaration function in order to jump directly to the paragraph that is being performed. Thanks.
