Hi Pierre-Luc,

The one you clicked on in the PDF. ;)
I suppose in the *extremely rare* circumstance that a single grob is contained
at exactly the same [physical] spot in the same parent (e.g., Staff) context in
two or more different Voice contexts and the source of that grob is a variable…
well, I guess the editor would have to give up or present multiple targets. But
I've never had or seen that situation in my 16 years of using Lilypond — I
can't even quite figure out how it could happen…

No… it already has the PDF to work backwards from (which Lilypond doesn't).

I still don't see how that path can't be navigated in reverse (i.e., from the
PDF back to the source locations): if you can do it manually (which I'm sure
you can), then it almost certainly can be automated.
Cheers,
