VSCode can't read linked files

[Gabriel-Alves-Cunha]

Issue Type: Bug

I use pnpm instead of npm. pnpm links to existing npms packages/files on the dev's computer, so it doesn't download new files everytime, like npm does! But vscode is showing a sea of errors like: "cannot find module 'react' or its corresponding type declarations."!

Maybe #98305 is relevant. 1.47 is in endgame at the moment, and you can try it by using Insiders.
