Sounds like `xref-find-references' (bound to M-? by default) might be
what you're looking for. It was introduced in Emacs 25.
M-? runs the command xref-find-references (found in global-map),
which is an interactive autoloaded compiled Lisp function in
‘xref.el’.
It is bound to M-?.
(xref-find-references IDENTIFIER)
Find references to the identifier at point.
With prefix argument, prompt for the identifier.
