Allow for linking concrete code

Hi @koppor

Thanks for your input!

With "documentation" you mean a CML model in this context, right? You would like to be able to jump from the CML editor, for example by clicking on a modeled entity, to the implementation of the corresponding entity? Interesting request, but also very tricky to implement. I wonder whether a solution just for GitHub would help many users, as many probably don't work in an open-source (GitHub) context. Jumping to the corresponding implementation directly in the IDE would probably be even better then leaving the IDE and go to the browser.

Advanced (follow-up) feature: Alarm the user if the code changes and the domain model should be changed.

This actually already works with our ArchUnit extension: Validating the Implementation against the Model
I use it in my projects so that if the code changes the build will error unless I adjust the domain model accordingly. But of course, you only realize it after you have run the build or get notified by your CI that the build is broken. A warning directly in the IDE would be nicer; I agree :)
