Description
Feature Request:
The extension current supports to "go to definition" of struct
that is defined in the generated files.
It would be more convenient if I can open the generated file
through the include! macro.
If "go to definition" is used on include! macro,
VSCode should open the included file, instead of where include! is defined,
(Do not think anyone interested in how a built-in macro is written)
similar to what "C/C++" extension does.
This also need to handle env!("OUT_DIR") inside include!

Research direction
The issue identifies include! and env!("OUT_DIR") as the relevant entry points, but names no files or tests. Start by tracing Go to Definition handling for include!; done means VSCode opens the included generated file rather than the built-in macro definition, including OUT_DIR paths.
