Could mention the project link in the plugin spy

[opcoach]

The plugin spy (in the org.eclipse.pde.runtime plugin), is really good to display the UI and selection information.

For instance, if we open the plugin spy on the MarketplaceDialog we get this:

But where can we find the epp.mpc project on GitHub ? Of course we can find it (after some minutes I could find it here : https://github.com/eclipse-mpc), but having a direct link to the project (if available), would be really handy to create new issues ...

Did you ever have a look at Navigate -> Open Discovered Type?

That only works if one has the corresponding bundle in the TP, but that's not always the case.
I think what Olivier is looking for is to display the information of the Eclipse-SourceReferences header from a Plug-in's MANIFEST.MF as well. For example for org.eclipse.jdt.ui it is:

Eclipse-SourceReferences: scm:git:https://github.com/eclipse-jdt/eclipse
 .jdt.ui.git;path="org.eclipse.jdt.ui";tag="I20250213-1800";commitId=e81

So if provided we can easily extract and provide the repository URL and even the git-commit of the current version.

I think this task would be simple enough to be a good first issue, but if we want to have it earlier I can also provide an implementation.

Ok, I confused it with Open Type. Ed is right and what he suggested does work very well:

An integration with that would be great, but since it's provided from Oomph that's not easy.
Therefore I think my suggestion still would be the simpler approach to achieve something similar (although a direct link to the source-file would not be possible without assumptions).
This would help everyone who doesn't know the mentioned Oomph feature.
