(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately got no response at
the time.)

I can certainly see cases where that would be useful.  I think much of
this stuff has been rewritten in terms of xref now?  I gave the xref
code a quick look-over, but I didn't see anything obvious in this
area...

Does anybody know whether Emacs grown support for this use case in the
12 years since this bug report was filed?
