Get Code Hints from a PSD
The Extract for Brackets (Preview) extension lets you pull out design information from a PSD including colors, fonts, gradients, and measurement information as clean, minimal CSS via contextual code hints. You can also extract layers as images, use information from the PSD to define preprocessor variables, and easily get dimensions between objects. All in the context of your code.

Put your mouse cursor on that ID, push Command / Ctrl+E and the tool will show you all the CSS selectors with that ID in an inline window so you can work on your code side-by-side without any popups.
