Context menu 'Find all references' on files from file explorer.

[Dzenly]

There was an issue, but its status is unclear.

#6625
I am surprised why there are so little likes %)

Cases:

• Node.js/JavaScript - all places where the current file is required by require.
  BTW: if I use "Find all references" on `require('./some-file.js') - VS Code does show me them. So the ability itself is already supported but there is no interface in file explorer.

• Node.js/TypeScript - all places where the current file is imported.

• C++ - all places where the file is included.

• Which HTML uses the current JS file.

• Etc.

For many years I used WebStorm which supports this. But in VS Code I have no idea how to find the place where some file is used but global searching it by some regexp. I was looking for some plugins and workarounds for 2 hours and found nothing %).

I tried to bind shortcut:

  {
    "key": "f12",
    "command": "references-view.find",
    "when": "filesExplorerFocus"
  }

but it runs last references search and not search for current file.

There is a question on SO, but no answer:

@Dzenly Was there any progress on this?

For me, in simple ES6 code with export and import in several files, there's no way to find the references.

If I right click the exported symbol and click Find All References, it will only find references in the open files in the editor, which is not so useful.

@alexilyaev I don't know. Mainly I use WebStorm, and from time to time I try VS Code, report another feature request, and continue to use WebStorm.
