Search by Implementation class in eclipse

Can one search by the implementation or its methods in eclipse? It would be really useful. An example is given below.

public interface Foo {
    public void method();
}

public class FooImpl implements Foo {
    // I should be able to select this and search and it should 
    // show the whoever called Foo.method
    public void method() {

    }
}

Another method is mentioned in this post. Instead of using CTRL+H or CTRL+SHIFT+G you can use CTRL+T to open a pop-up in place instead of a new Eclipse tab as the other methods do.

Select "Foo" in the editor -> right-click -> Open Type Hierarchy (or F4). The "Type Hierarchy" View will open -> On this View, click the icon for the function "Show the Sub-Type Hierarchy" (or "Show All Inherited Members").

Eclipse will show all the Child classes.

If you see a method, called from interface, then just position mouse cursor over it, press ctrl and you see menu with options "Open Declaration | Open Implementation". In your case press "Open Implementation". In case this method is implemented by many classes you will get a popup with "Types implementing or defining...". Quite nice feature :)

UPDATE: according to your example... If I understood it right, then when you select method, press ctrl+shift+G and you see all places where this method is called.

You can use default search option. Access it by pressing CTRL+H. Go to Java search tab. Here you can write method name and search for it.
