Feature Request: Auto-link currently edited file in JetBrains IDEA to Agent conversation

Summary

Add a feature to automatically link/highlight the currently edited file in JetBrains IDEA within the Agent conversation window, improving context awareness and developer workflow.

Problem

When working with the AI Agent in JetBrains IDEA, there's currently no visual indication or automatic association of the file I'm actively editing. This makes it difficult to:

1. Quickly understand which file the AI agent is referring to in conversations
2. Get file-aware suggestions without manually specifying the file path

Proposed Solution

Implement an integration that:

• Automatically detects the currently active file in the JetBrains IDEA editor
• Displays a visual indicator/link in the Agent conversation panel showing the associated file
• Optionally allows clicking the link to open or focus the file in the editor
• Updates dynamically as the user switches between files

Benefits

• Improved context: Agent always knows which file you're working on
• Better UX: No need to manually paste file paths or describe locations
• Faster workflow: Seamless integration between coding and AI assistance

Thanks @bent2685 for opening this. I'd like to clarify the problem you are looking to solve. Are you looking to have this be an indicator of where the agents "focus" or writes/reads are currently happening? Or more of a quick way to get back to the file you were editing?

Whereas in my experience with Claude Code, clicking it controls whether to include/exclude it from the context (I believe) in the next request.
