Contributing to ctrl+HOVER list in a plugin [message #1693590]

Hello Eclipse gurus.

I was writing a plugin for my work and I need a ctrl+HOVER over certain methods to not open the method but instead open a resource (within the project) that this method returns.

I already am able to show a hover with the resource location (just a mouseover tooltip) using the org.eclipse.jdt.ui.javaEditorTextHovers and a org.eclipse.jdt.ui.text.java.hover.IJavaEditorTextHover, however this is not exactly what I want. I want to navigate to the resource I have discovered.

Navigation options are shown when a ctrl+hover happens. I have not been able to find info on how to contribute my navigation option to this type of hovers. Any ideas?
