It would be nice to have that capability without the need to create a project.
There may be no need to "create" a project, for a particular backend. But a specialized backend (for instance, one for Emacs sources) will know the directory tree layout and where to get information from. In Emacs's case, for example, from find-func and TAGS files inside lisp/ and src/.
And how to combine the information from the different sources better.
E.g., how about adding to Emacs a few back-ends that support widely used combinations of languages, like C and Lisp in our case?
Someone is welcome to take that up. It won't be on my list for a while, probably not until after the 25.1 feature freeze.
