[FEATURE] Reference code symbols as context by copy/paste from editor to chat input

Problem Statement

using the claude-vscode.insertAtMention command is easy with ALT+K shorcut although it would have also be nice to have Claude commands listed in contextual menu of the editor. However in the chat input @ works to mention a file but # does not work to target a line number(s). Anyway this only allows to target lines block but no specific code symbols.

Proposed Solution

Github copilot allows to copy/paste any code symbol (var, function, class, type, ...) from the editor to the chat to add it as context. This feature in Claude vscode extension would be a real enhancement to create a more accurate context in the prompt.
