It would be nice to extend the option/command-click-on-title-bar stuff.
I was thinking of something along the following lines:

 1) Press option key - cursor changes into something appropriate
    (like a fish ?)

 2) Click on any word in a text editing window.

 3) A pop-up menu appears. The first item reads "Defined in: xyz.p";
    the second item reads "Referenced by: " and has a submenu with
    all the references to the symbol (file name/unit name/procedure);
    and then there are other items but I can't quite read what's on
    them. ;-)

 4) Selecting any of the menu items opens up the relevant text window
    and highlights the reference.

Sort of a magical hyper cross reference facility. How about it ? It
would things like MPW's XRef tools and Aranda look a bit silly...
