Hi, I have a View that contains a lot of other view instances. Is there a way to quicly navigate from an instance of a view to the definition of a view?  
Ideally I would want to be able to right click on a view-instance in the designer and select "Go to definition".

You use the [Modify Source View](https://www.docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/ignition-modules/perspective/working-with-perspective-components#modify-source-view) option after right-clicking an Embedded View.
