Just to be perfectly clear; are you talking about
the "Open Declaration F3" functionality which
appears on the context menu in the editor? If so,
then it is supposed to find the declaration - not
the definition. (There is an enhancement request to
put in an Open Definition as well: 
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=69063).

Open Declaration makes use of the parser directly.
You need to have your project paths and 
symbols set up so that the parser can find your included
files.

Do you mean Search For>All References>Workspace?
How are you triggering goto reference?
