Yes, it certainly is possible using (x)emacs (with gnat): it's called
ada-xref.el.
If you're sitting on an entity, then M-x ada-goto-declaration (usually
bound to C-c C-d) will move point to the file containing the
declaration.
I re-wrote the version of ada-xref.e. that came with ada-mode versions
earlier than 3.0 (the one done by ACT), because it basically didn't
work. I haven't used the new version of GNAT yet, so I don't know
whether they fixed it or not. If anyone is interested, let me know and
I'll send it to you.
