Unable to navigate to function definition from report in Web UI #4675

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When static analyzer reports a potential issue (e.g., unchecked return value of funcA), I cannot navigate to or view the definition of funcA directly in the Web UI. I have to manually search for it in my IDE to understand what the function returns and why I should check it.

Describe the solution you would like
Add clickable links to function definitions in the analysis report. When I click on a function name in the report, it should show me:

  • The full function definition
  • Return type
  • Parameters
  • Function body

Describe alternatives you have considered
Currently, I have to:

  • Copy the function name from CodeChecker
  • Switch to my IDE
  • Manually find the function definition

This breaks my workflow and slows down bug fixing.

Additional context
This is especially problematic when analyzing large codebases or working with unfamiliar parts of the code. The feature would make bug investigation much more efficient.
