TLDR: Allow F3 to open the declaration from the yellow pop-up window.
Scala, with really good type inference, means you can skip a lot of explicit type declarations.
The downside is that there is frequently no text in the source code for that type that you can select and use F3 to "Open Declaration" to see the source for that type.
You can use F2 to see the type in a yellow dialog and to use the mouse to copy/paste it. What you sort of really want though is to be able to highlight that type and use F3 on that...
Yes, it is possible to copy/paste the type name into an "open type" action, so this is not a killer priority.
