Yes. Why is that impossible? If the link is attached to (e.g.) a NoteHead grob which is inside a quote defined in VariableA but incorporated into VoiceB and displayed in StaffC, why couldn't the editor work out a target list like: StaffC StaffC > VoiceB StaffC > VoiceB > VariableA ?? Right now, Frescobaldi knows how to "Jump to definition" from some bits of code to others… In fact, given \new Staff << \globalStuff \noteStuff >> one can already [in Frescobaldi] click on either \globalStuff or \noteStuff and be taken to that part of the code. I don't immediately see why what I've outlined above isn't just a fancy version of this existing feature.
