What if there is no such source file?  For instance, I might be
linking against a binary library and including it's header.

I think to really do what you want you need a global view of the entire
compilation process and not just information you get from a single
translation unit that includes a header file.

The compilation database may be of some help here, but you still have
the problem of linking against libraries for which you have headers
but no source files.
