I've noticed that Code Lens features like "Find References" don't work across CommonJS modules - at least not out of the box. (Tested on both VSCode and Emacs, across more projects than I can remember.) I'm surprised this isn't discussed more often, considering how many projects still use CommonJS exports - most of them legacy codebases that need exactly these kinds of tools.

Am I missing some holy-grail configuration option to enable this feature, or is Code Lens simply not made to work with CommonJS exports and require statements?
