Description Knut Radloff CLA 2003-05-01 18:10:22 EDT 
I was analyzing WSAD's Navigator type views recently. This entailed opening 
perspectives and views and finding the implementing class.
It would be nice to have a tool that displays the extension id of UI elements, 
not just for views but also editors, menus, toolitems etc. 
This could be done using a special hotkey and hovering the mouse over the UI, 
displaying the id either in a tooltip or in the console.
Other information, especially the class name in the class attribute of the 
extension, if applicable, would be nice, too.

Maybe one of our coop student or someone from the community could help out with 
this.
