procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
   foo := 1;
end;

unit1.pas(33,3) Error: Identifier not found "foo"

Now I can right click that message in the message window, or the red (!) 
in the gutter:
- Create local variable foo
- Search Identifier
- Show Cody dictionary for "foo"


So the concept is there. IIRC it is called "quick fix".

But yes, there are plenty of solutions that still could be added....
