Traditional "Find All References" etc. views

### Check for existing issues - [X] Completed ### Is your feature request related to a problem? I *really* like the multi-buffer view, and in particular I like it much better than the "lens"-style approach taken by Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code. However, there are sort of two modes of working with "Find References" commands in many IDEs, including Code: one shows you an interactive pane (or multi-buffer!); the other provides a panel with a navigable list of references. ### Describe the solution you'd like I'd like *both* modes to be available, because they're useful for different modes of working. The multi-buffer is super useful for interactively working with the references. The list is better for incrementally working through the references *non*-incrementally, has much higher information density, and can more easily be used at the same time as an active editor (or more than one) because it sits in a different place in the information architecture than editor buffers. ### If applicable, add mockups / screenshots to help present your vision of the feature Here’s how VS Code does the "panel with list" mode: https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2403023/202913572-c5e0adff-b1fc-4489-b92a-a8799e11ad7e.mp4
