If this view is only temporary while the editing is progress then the code could split the current window below the relevant line, hide the mode line temporarily, so there is no distracting ui element between the referring code and the referred code and put the definition in the bottom window. This would look very much like the screenshot, and when the user quits this special temporary editing view then windows/mode lines/etc would be restored to their original state.
