Vim plugin like vscode "go to definition" function
Vim has the tag feature built-in, which allows it to jump to the tags that were found by a tool like universal ctags using :h CTRL-]. See :help tags for more information on this. Fun fact: this is the approach that Vim uses when you use :help!

Ctags and referencing static functions, is it possible?
I have good news for you. Universal Ctags, an Exuberant Ctags fork and essentially its replacement, has fixed this already:

Searching files or words using fuzzy finders

If you have a tags file (for example, using universal ctags), you can hit Ctrl-] (:h Ctrl-]) to jump to the declaration of any function under your cursor. Or, if you don't have a tags file, you can use gd (:h gd) to jump to a local declaration within the open file.
