It's funny that you mention counsel-imenu, because counsel/ivy-mode is
actually one of the reasons I wanted this in the first place.
xref-find-definitions displays perfectly in ivy-mode (similar to how
counsel-imenu works),

I see what you mean. ivy-mode switches completing-read to its UI.

But if there are several locations corresponding to the given name, you'll see them in an *xref* buffer.

I was actually not aware that counsel-imenu exists, so this solves my
problem to some extent.

Happy to help. I use it a lot.

That said - having an option to have xref-find-definitions filter by
file would still be useful, since ctags is able to index things that
imenu does not.

Maybe that happens too, but my experience is usually the opposite.

However - if it isn't a simple fix then I don't think
it's worth it, since imenu is "good enough".

Let's see if someone else wants xref-find-definitions-in-current-file as well, or if they have some other ideas on this issue.
