Clicking on a virtual field should take you to getter method instead of property annotation

Is it possible when clicking on a virtual field in PHP Storm such as $entity->virtual_field that you can be taken to the getter (i,e, _getVirtualField()) instead of the property annotation? Going to the annotation is fairly useless when its a virtual field.

Sounds fair. Do u have an idea on how to do that?
We can change it or add a feature flag to enable
Feel free to make a PR

I'd love to, but I wouldn't know where to start :-(

I never really looked into how the meta file works, but after spending a bit on this I don't believe what I asked is possible. This should probably be closed unless you think there is a way. Man do I despise virtual fields.

Well, and also: It should only be one click more to get to the method. So not too big of an issue anyway.

We are on an older version (1.14.1) of this library that doesn't have this feature. I guess I should figure out why cake 4.2 project had issues on the most recent version.
