You could emulate something similar with windows. If this view is only
temporary while the editing is progress then the code could split the
current window below the relevant line, hide the mode line temporarily,
so there is no distracting ui element between the referring code and
the referred code and put the definition in the bottom window.

This would look very much like the screenshot, and when the user quits
this special temporary editing view then windows/mode lines/etc would
be restored to their original state.
