Actually, QtCreator shows a clickable symbol near the changed definition / 
declaration; if you click it (or hit alt-enter), QtCreator refactors the 
counter part, BUT source navigation opens the destination file and jumps the 
cursor there.

qmake based project management does this; CMake based project management 
doesn't - The cmake language is quite too complex to do it reliable.

Additionally one can press Ctrl-Shift-U while the editor cursor is inside the 
desired keyword; QtCreator will do a search for the identifier based on its 
understanding of the code.
