If editors were to implement it, you could navigate to the corresponding overload implementation or even provide some hint text. Just like they do for other functions.

In Visual Studio it is already there.

Yeah, we would need editors and code review tools to not only follow overloads to their functions but also highlight that the operator is overloaded in the first place. Of course, this is quite a lot more work than just not overloading things in the first place (particularly since the benefit of operator overloading is negligible).
