Description

There is already Go to Definition in vscode, so that's usually not the file you're looking for.

Maybe it should also work with Expanding folder options - When file has 1 reference and that reference is the definition - file shouldn't auto expand.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the references view implementation and the logic for expanding folders with single references. Consider the interaction with 'Go to Definition' and propose a change to highlight the file containing the definition instead of expanding it.
