The most generic way is to just use a tags table, see the manual:

  (info "(emacs) Tags")

(C-x C-e after the closing paren in emacs)

etags supports more languages than gnu global, and there is an
etags program coming with exuberant-ctags that supports even
more. There are alternative, more capable solutions for specific
programming languages. What are you working with?
