You can extract the SymbolTable (https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.api_tooling.meta/api_tooling/tooling_api_objects_symboltable.htm) from the field with the same name on ApexClassMember (https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.api_tooling.meta/api_tooling/tooling_api_objects_apexclassmember.htm) or ApexTriggerMember. The externalReferences are directly accessible from the SymbolTable.

I typically extract a single SymbolTable at a time for a single Apex class or trigger. Before doing so I use the Tooling API to force a compile of the class in question. This ensures the SymbolTable exists.
