Maybe my imagination is too limited, but I don't see how that would
work with a menu. How would you filter items in a menu?

It wouldn't be a simple popup menu but something that navigated as easily but with the option for richer functionality. I am basically saying take the code completion popup widget and expand its functionality as I outlined (doesn't have to affect its current simplicity). Then use this popup for code completion and symbol jump to (if more then one symbol exist).

Also look at the in context dictionary popup that is available in
Tiger for another variant of such an in context widget.
