It's possible to let tangling generate comments that will link back to the
literate file where you defined the function.
https://orgmode.org/manual/Extracting-Source-Code.html
See the comment header arg.

Then you could advise the relevant functions that do emacs function lookup
to check whether there's such a "link comment" near the definition and jump
to that instead.

All this is rather hackish and I stopped doing my init files in literate org.
