I think @greghendershott could point to the relevant racket-mode code but DrRacket already has the code to heuristically generate the "jump to definition" drop-down for each file so it could...

I think the best way to deal with that is to put the module where the identifier is defined in the error message, but I couldn't quite follow the error...
