Go to definition for .jsx does not work

Question

I am working with es6 syntax in Visual Studio Code and when I import ordinary file, then I can click F12 (Go to definition) and it works just fine. The problem is that with components (import from .jsx files) it does not work at all (nothing happens when you click go to definition). Has anyone an idea how it can be fixed?

P.S. I have jsconfig.json like that to allow proper go to definition for ordinary .js files:

{
    "compilerOptions": {
        "target": "ES6"
    },
    "exclude": [
        "node_modules"
    ]
}

Although you can track down the solution from github issues mentioned in one of the comments, I wanted to make it easier for SO users. Quote from the Github issues page:

easy workaround is to add the compilerOption "jsx": "preserve" (or "jsx": "react" or "jsx": "react-native")

jsconfig.json:

{
    "compilerOptions": {
        "jsx": "react"
    }
}
