Support finding references at module in module.exports = or export in export =

[ghost]

Fixes microsoft/vscode#21507 (comment)

This should also show:: require("[|./j.json|]"); just like we are doing at export=

Should this trigger on the open brace of the json file? I don't want to just trigger it everywhere since people may be looking for references to a particular property instead.
But vscode at least doesn't use TypeScript to provide services in json files, so this wouldn't work anyway ... we can still get references when starting from a TS file though.

@sheetalkamat Please re-review

Hey guys, trying to use a find occurrences/usages/references but it only shows me the usage in the same file, not elsewhere. How do make it works?

Agreed, all I'm seeing is same-file references too.

e.g. const function1 = () => {} defined in events.js is referenced in index.js (to be called on an API call). Clicking Find All References on function1 in events.js does not list the reference in index.js.

Just got into this issue again from an old project using this kind of syntax:

const object = {
 methode: (),
 other: ()
}
module.exports = object;

// Or even this one
const object = {
 KEY1: 'dfdfd',
KEY2: 'sdddf'
}

module.exports = object;

In intellj, this kind of find usage is able to track which other file is using the export, that would be nice to have a way to track which file use the export :)
