If I have a selective import then go to definition and go to declaration on the imported symbol (in the import statement or in actual use) just go the import statement. Is there some way to make it take me to the actual definition? Maybe declaration could take me to the import and definition could take me to the real definition?

Which tool are you using? It works fine for me using DCD, at least the version I'm running.

That problem has been bothering me, too. AFAICT it works for symbols, but not for types imported (and aliased) through a selective import.

I think I have a fix for this in the upcoming release.
