visual studio code - VSCode does not enable links for each Go Editor tab

Question

I am using Visual Code for my Go development and I notice that for each .go file I open in an Editor, I don't by default can click on an imported package function.

Like, I have to open Command Pallette, then use Go: Install/Update tools and download gopls for each open editor.

How do I do it globally, like when I open vscode, how to make the links enabled automatically?

Since v0.22.X released late Jan 2021, the Go extension uses gopls by default. See the official announcement. And if the gopls is installed in your PATH, you wouldn't need to install that over and over for each open editor.
