Expected behavior

Clicking "go to definition" on a source macro opens the appropriate source.yml file and links to the correct line where the source table name is instantiated.

Actual behavior

Clicking "go to definition" on a source macro opens the expected source.yml file BUT instead links to the line containing the first string match of the table name, as opposed to the table definition itself.

For instance, if I have a source macro {{ source('marketplace', 'cars') }} and I click "go to definition", the correct source.yml file will open, but I'll be taken to the line in the yml file with the string "cars". Instead, I should be taken to where the table "cars" is defined, using the correct method of yml parsing.

Steps To Reproduce

In a repository where your sources are from a data warehouse that dbt is connected to, click on "go to definition" for a source macro for a source table who's name appears in the source yml file before the table definition.

Log output/Screenshots

So, in the example below, clicking on Go to Definition from {{ source('marketplace', 'cars') }} would send me to "cars" in the description of the vehicles table, as opposed to the definition of the cars table.

version: 2

sources:
  - name: marketplace
    database: company_database
    schema: marketplace
    tables:
      - name: vehicles
        description: >
          A table containing all vehicles, such as cars, trucks, or motorcycles
        columns: ...

      - name: cars
        description: >
          A table containing just cars
        columns: ...
