This feature was delivered in version 9.6.2.
The feature that is described in this request is a candidate for a future release.
A preliminary evaluation of this request indicates that it is consistent with our business strategy. Further evaluation of this RFE is underway.
I have discussed the details with the customer. The proposed solution (using local design search feature) is not what is expected. The user needs a very quick action to navigate to the design from the source code. Something like a Shift-Click or Ctrl-Click or preferably Ctrl-F3 (almost standard in Eclipse) for example to open the design editor directly (or to navigate to it and put it in front).
For example, using Ctrl-F3 when the cursor is set on a data element in the source code should directly transfer the focus to the design editor for this data element.
Could you confirm us that the local design search feature that takes as input the data element code is not a viable solution as you refer to browsing the full design explorer to do so ?
