This is related to another feature request:
http://bugs.xdebug.org/bug_view_page.php?bug_id=200

However, it is also not trivial to do. For this to work the PHP script
needs to be parsed by the PHP interpreter and that can only be done
after a script has started. As setting a breakpoint in an IDE usually
happens before the script starts I have no idea on how to implement this
specific feature. Feel free to file at at http://bugs.xdebug.org
though.
