You might be interested in Icicles command `icicle-goto-marker' (also
`icicle-goto-global-marker'). It's like a dynamic, completing `occur' for
the `mark-ring' (or the `global-mark-ring'). It's a multi-command, so you
can use it as a browser.

If you want to visit only function definitions, use `icicle-imenu' or
`icicle-search-tag' - similar functionality.
