+  "Defines a jump target for major MODES.

+This overwrites previously defined handlers for MODES. If used on minor modes,
+they are combined with handlers defined for other minor modes or the major mode
+it's activated in.

+If the CAR of PLIST is :unset, other properties are ignored and all existing
+jump handlers for MODES are cleared. Otherwise, PLIST accepts the following
 properties:
 
-  :definition FN
-    Run when jumping to a symbol's definition.
-    Used by `+lookup/definition'.
-  :references FN
-    Run when looking for usage references of a symbol in the current project.
-    Used by `+lookup/references'.
-  :documentation FN
-    Run when looking up documentation for a symbol.
-    Used by `+lookup/documentation'.
-  :file FN
-    Run when looking up the file for a symbol/string. Typically a file path.
-    Used by `+lookup/file'.
-  :xref-backend FN
-    Defines an xref backend for a major-mode. With this, :definition and
-    :references are unnecessary.
