Hi,
This is similar to what I had to do in stackhammer/geppetto @ github -
as the Puppet DSL language it supports is difficult to link.
You can take a look at the linking I am doing - it runs after the
regular linker, it uses adapters to store resolved links, and provides
all the necessary information to the Xtext framework to play nice when
building etc. I also implemented "Open declaration" and "Find
references" based on the "links in adapters".
It works quite well.
(As you will find out, the implementation is somewhat messy, as I
learned how to do things step by step, and it could probably be cleaned
up and made a lot nicer).
If you are interested - the actual linking starts in PPLinker, and the
interesting stuff is in PPResourceLinker.
Happy to answer any questions you may have.
Regards
- henrik

but in this case I saw the documentation linking stuff and thought that was all of it...
