I think the biggest issue with a multi-language perspective is how to do a multi-language “Open Type”. It’s really the only thing I run into when trying to do Java in the C++ perspective or C++ in the Java perspective.

Any thoughts on that? Is this something we can even fix?

In VSCode, they have an abstract "Open Symbols" which serves that purpose for all languages. It does a bit more as it also contains methods and so on...
If we can have JDT and CDT ok to use it by Oxygen, I believe we can try to add this to Platform UI.
In Eclipse IDE, I find myself using more and more the Open Resource dialog, even to serve the purpose of Open Type. It's not as good as there is no 1-1 mapping between resource and type, but in most case, I'm happy with it.
