Implement “Navigate To Definition” (Ctrl+Click) in Visual Studio extension

Question

I am writing a Visual Studio extension and I want to implement the Ctrl + Click command for my own file type. This is similar to the C#/C++ editor whereby Ctrl + clicking on a type name will take user to the definition of that type (aka. Go To Definition command.)

Is there any sample on how to achieve this? I searched on Microsoft Docs website but I couldn't find anything that I want.
