Can I use the reference in VS Code intelligently?

Sunset

I've started looking at Extensions (again) and I am wondering if there is any method of jumping to the explanation from Microsoft; either on the ms page, github or elsewhere?

For instance last time I had time to play with extensions you still had to make Multilanguage captions directly in the code. Now when I do it, it says "The multilanguage syntax is being deprecated. Please update to the new syntax. AL(AL0424)"
I get that there is a new way of doing the captions, and have seen that they are being generated in a seperate file. All well and good. But can I use the AL(AL0424) reference to look up something regarding this issue?

Or when it says DotNet 'SqlConnection' is missing AL(AL0185) how can I use the reference to see that it is because I have renamed SqlConnection in my dotnet.al definition file?

To the best of my knowledged no you cannot look up ex al0424 but it makes great search word in google and there by finding a GitHub Issue.
My personal guess is it it like the KB number i NAV release, they point to a specific commit in Microsoft internally SCM system :-) But this is not confirmed, it is just my own guess

I fear that you might be right Sander. I was/am just hoping that the logic behind the AL numbering is somehow open and accessable for the public as it would save a lot of time. Just imagine being able to press a link that would explain the reasoning for whatever error the compiler is giving

Those are references to code rules in the AL language. I couldn't find the direct references in the documentation, but they are similar to the code analysis rules that you can find here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/dev-itpro/developer/analyzers/codecop
