Using Serena to explore externally defined symbols

[VerdantForge]

Hi,

I just started exploring Serena for some python projects and find the approach pretty interesting.
From what I see I can only use it to view symbols that are defined within the project though and can't step outisde of it.
Being able to view external symbols would help the agent have up to date documentation as it knows exactly what's expected of the call in the current context rather than having to make an external documentation call and ensure to be referencing the correct version.

Am I missing a configuration option or is this a feature that could simply be added later on?

Cheers,

When using the JetBrains plugin, this is already fully supported. You have full access to dependencies and can work with the respective symbols in the same way as with project symbols.

As far as the language server backend is concerned, it's something we are considering (see #750), but it largely depends on language server capabilities and is not really straightforward to implement.
