Link to e.g. function name in a source file

Description

Currently it is possible to link to a particular commit and a particular line #L123 in a source file, which is already great to guarantee the validity of the link, but won't help to point in future versions to e.g. the beginning of a function.

Proposal

In Trac it is possible to point to #/searchterm, i.e. the first occurrence of searchterm. Would be something similar thinkable for GitLab?
