VsCode Extension: Rename Symbols

Is there any why to trigger Rename Variable from a Extension?

I found an example how to rename a certain word in a file, but the reference variables keep the same as before.

Try using the vscode.executeDocumentRenameProvider command:

import * as vscode from 'vscode'

vscode.commands.executeCommand('vscode.executeDocumentRenameProvider',
    vscode.window.activeTextEditor.document.uri,
    new vscode.Position(targetLine, targetCharacter),
    'newSymbolName').then(edit => {
        if (!edit) {
            return false;
        }
        return vscode.workspace.applyEdit(edit);
    })

This will utilize the RenameProvider that is registered for the target file. If no such RenameProvider exists, you will need to implement one
