Description

To show module hover info, you have to hover over the module name. Hovering over the module address doesn't work.

To go to sources, you have to put the cursor on the module address and press F12. It doesn't work with the cursor on the module name. This one makes sense because F12 has a meaning of "go to definition", which for a module reference means exactly where the cursor already is.

But I'd argue that hover should work either over the module name or over the module address.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the hover behavior over a module symbolic name and module address, then trace the language-service handling for module references. Done means hover information is available from both locations while the existing F12 behavior remains unchanged; the issue does not name a file or test to begin with.
