Description
We're currently not tracking the definition positions for these symbol types like we are for classes and functions now.
I believe there's a similar issue with lamba functions as well.

Research direction
Start from the Copilot Hover behavior and trace how definition positions are tracked for C++ symbols. Compare the existing handling for classes and functions with enum, enum class, and lambda definitions, then verify that hover navigation reaches their definitions.
