ghc-tags-core library provides:

a function to extract /tag/ information from @'HsModule' 'GhcPs'@ parsed tree representation of Haskell code,
parsers for ctag and etag style tag files (/vim/ / /emacs/),
formatting tags into ctag and etag files,
tries to be compatible with universal-ctags.

Check out these projects:

ghc-tags or its fork which is using the most recent ghc-tags-core;
ghc-tags-plugin - a ghc compiler plugin which extracts tags during @GHC@'s parser pass and also from TH splices.
