Go to the definition for the type name.

(I don't know what the first one means, sorry!)

When the type popup says "definition at file:line" it should be followed
by excerp from that line ie "definition: file:line:nsresult OpenArchive
<http://dxr.lanedo.com/search.cgi?tree=mozilla-central&string=OpenArchive>(nsZipHa
<http://dxr.lanedo.com/search.cgi?tree=mozilla-central&string=nsZipHandle>..."
Same for references: "file:line return mZip
<http://dxr.lanedo.com/search.cgi?tree=mozilla-central&string=mZip>->OpenArchive
<http://dxr.lanedo.com/search.cgi?tree=mozilla-central&string=OpenArchive>(handle
<http://dxr.lanedo.com/search.cgi?tree=mozilla-central&string=handle>);"

Note these are preliminary thoughts. We haven't discussed them yet.
