I write a lot of notes on research papers and link the pdf files at the appropriate places, so especially go to definition would be great. I'd be happy to take a stab at it and submit a pull request if you agree this would be a good addition.

So just to check I'm understanding correctly, in the above example, go to definition would jump the cursor the the buttom line [ref]: ... and hover would bring up a pop-up with the link?

Yes, except maybe hover also shows link title (as it is called in the markdown spec) if it exists, so

[ref]: https://example.com "Doe, Jane et al., Example Website, 2019"

would show both parts of the right side.

Alright, cool, I'll go and try to work something out!
