LTeX+ LS does not support external files, only the VS Code extension.
See valentjn#157

I just came here to add this as a bug and found this issue. Can this feature be implemented in LTeX+? That would be amazing!

[spitzerd]

Sure, but I cannot announce a delivery date for this feature, of course. Pull requests are welcome.
