On linux, you can run ctags -x and postprocess the file to append the line number to the file name instead of having i as a separate field. That way, you can locate the symbol in the tags file, and right-click on the file:linenumber.
Also, on linux, we have acme-lsp, which in principle works with any LSP server. I have tested it with go and C/C++.
