When adding code that is similar to existing code (certain menu actions that should be handled similarly) I often use "find references".
However, there is only 1 find-references window, which means that if you quickly want to search on something else, you have to redo the previous find-references.
It would be handy to save the "Find References Results", e.g. by adding a 'Store results' button. This button could store the results under a different tab in the window, so you can quickly access it. |

I constantly run into a similar problem, when trying to determine chain of dependency for something I intend to refactor: I do repeated 'Find References' to determine what parts of the code are involved and what other side effects might need to be considered when refactoring the original method. However, once I do four or five 'Find References' in a row, I find it difficult to pick up my research at an earlier level that had more findings to follow up.
I would very much like some kind of 'Find Reference History' that enabled me to skip back to previous results, or just enables me to rerun previous 'Find's without the need to respecify what I am looking for. |

We are working on this internally, and hope to allow multiple Find References Results windows in the next few builds. It is a common request, for obvious reasons  |
