    In Visual Studio, there's a label on top of Monobehaviour/Component classes that can search for its references in Unity Prefabs and Scenes.

    Is it possible to have this feature in VSCode?
    If not, I'm curious as to why - what sort of integration does Visual Studio do better than VSCode?

    That question isn‘t really related to Unity. VS is a (commercial) programmer‘s IDE, VSCode is a free general-purpose text editor that‘s heavily customizable via plugins. While you can use VSCode as a lightweight IDE replacement you will not get all the convenience features of a proper IDE. The only way you can get said feature in VSCode is if there were a plugin for that.

    You need to enable the editor.codeLens setting

    I don't have this label in my VS scripts for Unity and I need it badly. How can I enable it ?
    I have VS 2022 and Unity 2020.3.9f1.
