Currently, Geany ignores filename in global tags - to be precise, Geany's
internal tag file format doesn't support file name at all and the filename
field from the ctags file format is ignored right now.
If we wanted to support this feature, we'd have to modify quite a bit of the TM
code because right now the presence of filename is used to distinguish global
tags from non-global ones:
```
if (tag->file) {
// this is not a global tag
} else {
// this is a global tag
}
```
To workaround the original problem, @terminalObserver could use some plugin
such as ProjectOrganizer where it's possible to add external directories to a
project (containing e.g. the include files he wants to open) and then all the
features like goto tag definition/declaration work.
