Switch autocompletion for enum in Visual Assist or Vanilla Visual Studio

Can Visual Assist's find all references find only references to to certain class constructor?

I have C++ code and VA works nicely but I kind of dont like that when I go to MyClass::MyClass(const std::string& arg); and try to find references it finds references of MyClass, not just this specific ctor. Can desired behavior be achieved?
