Implement Hyperlinking/Open Declaration in custom editor [message #631800]

Hi,
I am creating a custom editor with usual features such as Folding, Content Assistance, Outline etc.
Now I moved to Hyperlinking.
Normally on JDT, when you curse on an element and press F3 or Ctrl+ click, it takes you to the element declaration.
I looked in the Eclipse Help but I could not find how to implement this feature, what classes / interfaces need to be extend / implement and how to register it.

Classes / Interfaces names and the functionality for each one will be great help ( if they are in the Eclipse Help, then names only will be enough Smile

).

Thanks.
Nehad

Take a look at the following extension points:
org.eclipse.ui.workbench.texteditor.hyperlinkDetectors
org.eclipse.ui.workbench.texteditor.hyperlinkDetectorTargets

Thanks for help and sorry for reply late.

I looked in these extension points and I could not find in them any functionality to add "Go to source code" feature in my editor, the classes there are final, no classes to extend and override some methods to add my "source code locater" implementation.( as I was expecting )

I think I find way to do that.
I am gonna add a new editor command, keybind it with F3, and when execute this command, get the current location of the curser in the editor and start from there.
What do you think ?
