How to: Go to file (#) Go to for symbol in the same dialog

I am missing this feature from Sublime Text so much. Go to Symbol in Workspace feels so close to it and yet so far away.This is very useful in the following examples:

You have many classes that have the same symbol/function name, Pre-filtering the file lets you jump to the exact definition very fast

You know the name of the file, but you are not sure about the exact symbol/function name. Fuzzy searching it is super fast

You want to quickly preview the available symbols/functions in a given file

Here is a sample video demonstrating this feature in Sublime Text:

If this is not currently possible, is it possible to implement as extension?

This is being added in v1.44. See https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-docs/blob/vnext/release-notes/v1_44.md#navigate-from-files-into-symbols

You can now continue to navigate into symbols of a file result simply by typing @. For the file that is currently selected, all symbols will appear and the editor will open in the background to reveal the active symbol.

quick pick file to symbol
