Description
If I have a makefile like
main: sub1 sub2 sub3
mangle sub1,sub2,sub2 into main
sub1: this
generate sub1 from this
sub2: that
generate sub2 from that
sub3: other
generate sub3 from other
then I'd like to be able to control-click (Windows) on "sub1" in the dependency list for "main" and jump to the "sub1: this" line, and similarly for other dependencies.

Research direction
No file or test is named. Start by tracing the Makefile language-service handling for dependency lists, using the issue's main/sub1 example; done means control-clicking a dependency such as "sub1" opens its target definition, such as "sub1: this".
