Description

Hello, is there any way or are you planning to implement analysis on expanded proc macros? Im currently trying codeQL on [Anchor](https://crates.io/crates/anchor-lang), which makes heavy use of proc macros.

When running a simple test, I see that by default, codeQL doesn't fully resolve references that exist in the expanded code, meaning i only get a reference to the macro that generated the referenced code, but I dont know which part of the macro is to blame (i used `cargo expand`) to test that. It seems though that placing the expanded file in the root dir does indeed make it be analyzed, but I dont know if this fully supported at the moment.

Is there a better way to do this?

Start with the simple Anchor test described in the issue and use cargo expand to compare the original proc-macro source with the expanded file placed in the repository root. Check how CodeQL resolves references in each case. Done means establishing whether expanded proc macros are supported and documenting a reliable analysis approach or the required implementation scope.
