Essentially I’d like to figure out how this is implemented. When you click on a reference, the source of the reference is highlighted. I’m working with Kotlin specifically, but this seems to be common for languages. Thanks in advance!

12/10/2019, 4:55 PMHi Kevin, I think you can achieve this with the open API with a Highlighter https://www.jetbrains.org/intellij/sdk/docs/tutorials/custom_language_support/syntax_highlighter_and_color_settings_page.html. In Meta we have a DSL for those http://meta.arrow-kt.io/docs/apidocs/idea-plugin/arrow.meta.ide.dsl.editor.syntax-highlighter/-syntax-highlighter-syntax/add-syntax-highlighter.html#
