How to automatically open reference to @defgroup for @ref in HAL Doxygen comments in STM32CubeIDE? (To decipher "This parameter can be a value of @ref ...")

[MoistSignificantBit]

In HAL and LL drivers, lot of functions take parameters of type int, where only a Doxygen comment informs you what the possible values of the parameter are (e.g. "This parameter can be a value of @ref RCC_CSI_Config") and you have to manually search the source code for that @defgroup name or look it up in a manual separately.

This is obviously stupidly inconvenient and inefficient and ctrl+click behavior is needed to directly jump to the reference.

Is there any way to conveniently navigate the @ref references to their respective @defgroups in Eclipse?

Do other IDEs allow doing this in a simpler way? How are all of you engineers navigating the parameters without tearing your hair out?

Hello @MoistSignificantBit​ 

First let me thank you for posting.

If I'm well understanding your request, you are asking for a feature to jump to the reference mentioned in a comment using the "ctrl + right click".

Such behavior is not possible for us to add as these are feature provided by ECLIPSE it self.

My advice is to use the "ctrl + h" to make a search for the reference manually.
