I'm not sure but I don't think that is enough. In Clang you do something 
like this:

1. Get cursor of source location
2. Get a unique global ID of the cursor the corresponds to the symbol 
(unified symbol resolution)
3. Walk the AST to find all matches of this ID
4. Get the source location of the cursors which match
5. Rename the symbol at the source location
