What you want works (except this one case, see below) if you hold ctrl 
down and mouseover the EL expression, you should get a hyperlink that you 
can click to take you to the class or method.  It works for JSPs.   If you 
install the Facelets incubator it will work for XHTML for bean classes and 
bean properties.  Bean method expressions (i.e. bean.action where the 
expression binds to BeanClass.action() instead of 
BeanClass.get/setAction()) work for JSP, but I just noticed an outage for 
XHTML.

I have launched this bug to track:
