Quick display of the reason a COBOL have to be regenerated

Currently, when a program needs to be regenerated because it is not in sync with design files, there is no quick way to understand which designs are responsible for the desynchronization. The user has to go in the Generation Manager View, look for the program, to finally understand the cause of the desynchronization.
It were more practical to have a new keyboard shortcut active in the COBOL editor (or a button) to open a popup window listing the design files that are responsible for the desynchronization of this COBOL.
