Answer 1

As others have said there is no built-in universal solution for this in emacs. That said, after having this functionality in IntelliJ I wanted it in emacs too so I made Dumb Jump.

Right now Dumb Jump has basic support for:

• JavaScript
• Emacs Lisp
• Python
• Go
• PHP
• Ruby
• Faust
• and more... (over 20 now)

It's available via MELPA and is actively being developed.
