They added jumps about 6 months ago: https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/pull/8875

I haven't experienced data loss, but I agree that's a blocker for regular use.

That's not that kind of jump the OP is talking about. dumb-jump/anyjump are plugins which allow you to jump to definition / declaration etc. without having any kind of language server running or having preprocessed the source code. They work by essentially grepping through the source code on the fly with some language specific smartness on top to make it work better.
