Description Mickael Istria CLA 2016-06-20 04:04:49 EDT 
When doing Ctrl+click on @Override, the current behavior is to open the Override class definition. It would be nice to also provide a link to "Open overriden method" on this annotation.

You can already navigate to the overridden method in the following ways:
- Ctrl+hover on method name in overriding method declaration and select "Open Super Implementation".
- Click on the override indicator (the triangle on the marker bar located at the left of the editor area).

Ok, both are actually good. However, I can't tell why, but I usually Ctrl+Click on @Oeverride when I want to access parent definition. Not sure whether it's just me being strange, or if it's shared by an interesting proportion of Eclipse IDE users. So I can't tell whether adding the hyperlink there is worth it or not, it's more food for thoughts.
