When I go to the function, I want to see its references links and navigate to them. In my Sublime Text it is working properly but I want to make proper in my VS Code also.

I recently had the same issue for like a week and I was going crazy, then I discovered that there is a setting for it, which I don't remember disabling but anyways it fixed the problem.
Go to your VSCode settings (settings.json) and set editor.hover.enabled to true.
{ "editor.hover.enabled": true } Otherwise, if you like UI setting stuff, search for "hover enabled" or editor.hover.enabled in your settings and make sure it is enabled.

Enable the language extension
I fixed this by going to Extensions, typing @builtin, scrolling to my language extension in Features list (Typescript and Javascript item) and enabling it:
For some reasons the extension was disabled in the list (even though the docs say it's enabled by default).

The feature you are referencing is known as IntelliSense in VSCode, which is enabled by default on versions 1.3 and above.
The languages supported out of the box are JavaScript and TypeScript.
So, if you need code-IntelliSense for other languages you'll have to install extensions for the specific languages.
See image below for IntelliSense support

if you are using /** */ comments on C++ i found out that disabling this option may help seeing them in the hover: simplify structured comments

It's just /**
On Xcode it/s ///, on VSCode it is /** And it works great!
Note that the extra stars added for decoration on the left of long comments is "just what is added. If for some reason you really want to you can delete them one by one; they are NOT involved in the hover.
Xcode users will be pleased you can finally use newlines, paragraphs etc freely.
You can freely add code with the usual backticks, it's great.
