Sourcegraph actually does do proper semantic linking, integrating with compilers (and type inferencers for dynamic languages): https://docs.sourcegraph.com/code_intelligence/explanations/.... This is one area of significant differentiation between Sourcegraph and GitHub code navigation (which is based on GitHub's semantic library, and which ironically isn't actually semantic in the sense of understanding types as compilers do).

Admittedly, we need to do a better job of articulating this difference, but if anyone would like help getting spun up with precise code intelligence on Sourcegraph, please DM me: https://twitter.com/beyang.
