Why is the dbt power user extension pane only working in the .sql files, not .yml files?

[janmechtel]

I frequently wish I had the information of the extension when working on the .yml file.

The first idea I had was to move everything from the .yml into the .sql, but it seems that dbt doesn't support that. For example the model properties like columns: and desc: can not be defined inside a config macro in the .sql file.

What alternative is there?

How can I quickly get from a .yml file to the corressponding model.sql?

What you describe seems useful. Can you create a feature request describing in detail what you are looking for?
