This is a followup or additional issue related to #61614 using the same minimal example I am unable to find references (cmd/ctrl+click in VSCode and other editors) for the generic fields.

What did you do?

If I cmd+click on a usage of the field, like 'element', then it correctly takes to the definition, but if I then cmd+click on the definition of the field, it does not show it's references. Instead it shows the message "No type definition found for 'elements'", (which is correct I guess) since I have that configured as the fallback action in vscode. For non generic fields, like 'name', it shows the other references as expected.

type builder[S ~[]F, F ~string] struct {
	name string  // <-- cmd+click here correctly shows references
	elements S // <-- [Definition] - cmd+click here does not show references and runs alternate gotoLocation command
	elemData map[F][]ElemData[F]
	// other fields...
}
type ElemData struct {
  Name F
  // other fields...
}
type BuilderImpl[S ~[]F, F ~string] struct{ builder[S, F] }

func NewBuilderImpl[S ~[]F, F ~string](name string)  *BuilderImpl[S, F] {
  return &BuilderImpl[S,F]{
	builder[S, F]{
	  name: name,
	  elements: S{}, // <-- [Usage] - cmd+click here takes me to [Definition]
	  elemData: map[F][]ElemData[F]{},
	}
  }
}
