Description

I wanted from many years to have in the OI's pop-up (that one with
'View, Arrange, Revert to inherited...) a menu command called 'Go To
Linked' which, in case, of a /linked/ component to go and select that
component.

And after many years I discovered (thanks to Jim McKeeth) that "if you
hold the [CTRL] key when you double click a property that is linked to
another component it takes you to that component."

Guys, this _isn't_ discoverable. Also isn't either easy to remember it.
Can you do the (almost) nothing and surface it in the above mentioned
popup? IMHO, it will be a great (almost no)thing. Really.
