I think this also ties into using tools that help faciliate this workflow.
Being able to jump to a definition of library code lets you really quickly move from your code to some function you're trying to figure out. With code editor support this is a seamless experience that can happen without a real context switch.
Without this, you might leave your code editor, Google for the project it's related to, find it on GitHub, open up the "dev" version of GitHub (hitting . when logged in on a repo's home page) so you can explore the project, then do a project search for that function and wade through a bunch of results until you find it.
That or find the code locally where your package manager might have saved it but if your app is in Docker that could be a problem because it might not be volume mounted so you won't be able to explore it from the comfort of your local code editor.
