"Open from clipboard" shortcut in IntelliJ

I often have a class or method reference in my clipboard. For example, when copying a reference from a failed unit test or from command line.

What is the most efficient way to navigate to this reference?

In eclipse, there is the Open from clipboard shortcut, which opens the reference. Is there anything comparable in IntelliJ Idea? From the eclipse docs:

Tries to open the matching Java element in the editor if the clipboard contains a single line. Otherwise it opens the contents in the Java Stack Trace Console. Examples:

  • java.lang.String
  • String
  • String#getBytes
  • String.getBytes
  • java.lang.String.getBytes(String)
  • String.java:123
  • at java.lang.String.matches(String.java:1550)
  • java.lang.String.valueOf(char) line: 1456
  • currentTimeMillis()

Navigate | Symbol… (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+N on Windows and ⌘+Alt+O on Mac).

(Paste the reference into the text field and press Enter to navigate).
