Description
It works in VS, although it appears all the results will be unconfirmed references. It's possible it doesn't work for VS Code because the references UI expects at last 1 confirmed references (or it could be a backend issue due to type info not being available at the cursor location). So the "unification" work may or may not fix this.

Research direction
Reproduce Find All References for symbols in inactive regions in VS Code and compare the results with Visual Studio, noting whether references are confirmed. Read the discussion in related issue #3108 and determine whether the failure is in the references UI or backend type information; done means the references are displayed correctly.
