Description
Hello,
In my server I would like to use "go to definition" to open included files.
It works, my problem is when I go to an opened file it returns to first line, instead I would like to keep the cursor position.
I tried setting range to 0,0,00 and to 0,0,10000,10000 without no luck.
I tried also specifying undefined as range, and the location is ignored.
I am trying with Visual Studio Code, I tried Location and LocationLink.
What is the correct way to do it? is it a VSCode issue?

Research direction
Review the Language Server Protocol definitions for Location and LocationLink, then compare their range behavior with Visual Studio Code's go-to-definition handling. Check whether either representation supports preserving the cursor position; done would be a clarified protocol or editor behavior and documented guidance for this case.
