This is supported by monaco and should be available to CodeMirror users. It doesn't seem like TypeScript itself has a method to just "give you a document with a symbol renamed" - it's a matter of finding all instances of the symbol and renaming them there. Closest I can find to a source reference:

What's the expected API here? I guess this is an overarching question for the library as a whole. Should codemirror-ts ship with a default context menu, similar to what Monaco provides? The alternative is to ship some minimal 

renameSymbol({offset: number, newSymbolName: string, ...opts})

From my experience, the codemirror ecosystem seems to promote the latter.
