• VSCode Version: Code - Insiders 1.3.0-insider (616201e, 2016-06-27T17:49:22.393Z)
• OS Version: Darwin x64 15.5.0

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Hover over a reference to a class/method in code (e.g., TextEditor)
2. Observe hover with link to some other part of the code opens (e.g, TextDocument)
3. Click link -> nothing happens (expected: target opens, e.g. TextDocument)

@chrmarti can you give more details where in code this happens? would like to reproduce

[chrmarti]

The example I'm using is in an extension's source file. I can reproduce with:

import * as vscode from 'vscode';
let editor: vscode.TextEditor;

Hovering over TextEditor shows its doc comment with a blue 'document' link in it. That link doesn't work when clicked on.

I can reproduce using @chrmarti small example. Need to find out whether this is TS or the UI.

Is this a feature that should only work for TypeScript?

I'm new to VSCode and basically want to get jump to definition working for es6 modules.
I expect that I could click on path names in imports:

import Foo from 'bar/baz/Foo.react.js'; <- I would like to click on bar/baz/Foo.react.js and be able to open that file.

Additionally I'd love to be able to click Foo and jump to it.

I have a jsconfig.json file at the root (above bar in this example) but I only see a "Loading ..." tooltip and then shows import Foo in the tooltip with no other enhanced functionality. This works in Atom fwiw. I'm new to Visual Studio and sorry for jumping on this bug but it looks like the description is quite close to what I'd otherwise file an issue for so wanted to avoid overspread. Again, I'm not using typescript though.

It would also be cool to have a list of features that one could expect to work to understand if things are set up correctly (or not). I have this is my jsconfig.json but it doesn't help (though I thought it might).

    "compilerOptions": {
        "target": "ES6",
        "module": "es6"
    },

Thanks!
