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.
