Description
VS Code includes some very basic support for IntelliSense in tsconfig/jsconfig files. This includes providing document links for `extends`, `files`, and `references` in these files:
This currently requires a fair amount of code in the VS Code extension and there are bugs (for example https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/276592) that would require a lot more code to address
I'd love to have this logic be handled by typescript directly so that it matches exactly how `tsc` / `ts-go` works. Other editors could then also benefit from it

Research direction
Start by examining the existing VS Code extension logic for document links in tsconfig/jsconfig files, then compare how tsc and ts-go resolve extends, files, and references. Done means TypeScript directly provides links with behavior matching both implementations; the issue does not name specific source files or tests.
