The beans view is really useful to find the place that defines a bean. As of now, it only shows the beans that are explicitly defined in the source files of the app and not the ones that are created by the frameworks autoconfiguration.
Sometimes it is necessary for debugging purposes, to also find the class that defines a framework bean (for instance to better understand under which conditions the bean is active and which values it uses).
IDE functions like "Find All References" can help here too, but for some beans there are so many references that it becomes impractical to find the place that defines the bean in this way. For example to find where UserDetails is defined:

In this situation, it would be really helpful if there was
- some setting or toggle to also show framework beans in the beans view [0]
- a
Go to Bean Definition option in the context menu, similar to the Find all [References|Implementations] or Go to Definition that I believe are provided by the java extension
I am not sure if a Go to Bean Definition is even possible, but that would provide the most value for me.
