Yes, that is incredible useful.  BTW, if you don't already know it
take a look at `find-function-setup-keys'.  It defines more handy key
bindings in the same vein.

But I don't think it generalizes easily to non-Emacs native language.
The standard way to handle it for other languages is /tags tables/,
see <info://emacs/Tags>.

And LaTeX is already supported by that ... though probably not exactly
the way you want if you're mostly interested in low-level
functionality.  But it is possible to define your own regexps -- it
might work well enough for your purpose.
