Steps to Reproduce:

1. Make a simple vanilla JS file
2. Try to go to the definition of anything on the prototype

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

Here's my code:

var SomeThing = function (options) {
	this.something()
}

SomeThing.prototype.something = function () {
	// ... do stuff
}

When i try to go to the definition of this.something() I get an error saying "no definition found for something". This works in other editors I've used such as WebStorm/IntelliJ. It also worked at least a long time ago on Sublime when I used it. I understand that some things like globals might fail because you can't tell where it's coming from but this is a vanilla JS file where 100% of the definitions are defined in there. Even if a global was defined elsewhere this would be overriding it.

I saw some others report this but those issues were closed about a year ago.

Seemed like a duplicate of #18171

Out of curiosity, I've noticed in some other reports of this people mention TypeScript and I saw this get moved. What does TypeScript have to do with it?

[DanielRosenwasser]

TypeScript powers the JavaScript experience in VS Code.

Yeah, looks like a dupe of #38239.
