Often I do a find references search and if the item is only used in one place, cmd+click on it will take me straight to it. However if the item is imported and used, I need to navigate the peek widget, expand the tree entry, then click on it. It would be nice if I can just skip over that if the only other reference is the import.

Simple example project:

foo.ts

export const foo = 1

index.ts

import { foo } from "./x";

foo

Find all references on foo returns 3 references, including one for the import

I think that having not only locations info but if it's at least import, export flags or even more flags later ('read' or 'write' access, 'call' for functions (to differentiate from passing function as argument etc.)) would allow advanced filtering on editors side and scenario in this issue.
