[MonoDevelop] Code Navigation

[Farzad Battiwalla]

In Delphi, holding down the Ctrl key and clicking on the button will
take you directly to the definition. There is also a hot key (for those
that like the keyboard) and you can still right-click on the item and
select "Goto Definition".

I also like the idea of going to the object browser if the reference
cannot be found in any of the classes within the project, or its
references (including mono's source library). A setting maybe required,
similar to Delphi, where you can specify the path to all the library
source files.
