Well, if you have the project referenced as a project, then it should
work. If you are referencing the assembly itself, then I don't think it
will work.

Yes it should work, if you use Go To Definition on a method/class/property
that is defined in a referenced DLL (non-project reference), the Object
Browser should open and the current method/class/property should be
selected.

At least, that's what it always has done for me and how I would do it if I
wrote it myself too...
