Is there a way of working back from the critical path in the timing report from OpenSTA to the names of the nets in the RTL?

the `startPoint`  and `EndPoint`  nets are specified in the timing report, i.e.:
```Startpoint: _643_ (rising edge-triggered flip-flop clocked by clk)
Endpoint: _644_ (rising edge-triggered flip-flop clocked by clk)```
Those reflect net names from the GL.

thanks Amr, don't know why I didn't see that

in this example for max, I can see the final point is io_out[16]

so to increase my clock frequency I have to work back from there to the first flip flop?
