This plugin adds clickable links to the Rails backtrace when an error occurs, and clickable “footnotes” to the bottom of each page (in development mode only) that open the view or controller for the current page in Textmate.
In your plugins directory, install with:
svn export svn://syncid.textdriven.com/svn/opensource/textmate_footnotes/trunk textmate_footnotes
