I've added that command now.

Though since it also uses query-replace-read-args, it suffers from the 
same (possibly) drawback as project-search and 
project-query-replace-regexp: not using the symbol at point by default.

So Jon, if you fancy writing a patch in this area, you can try 
implementing what Juri suggested:

  let-bind read-regexp-defaults-function around the call
  of query-replace-read-args, and use a symbol at point as the default.

That can apply to both project-query-replace-regexp and 
xref-find-references-and-replace.
