Going to bookmarks in different documents

In VB6, you could set bookmarks that were in different
files/module/classes/documents. When you clicked the flag tool to go
to the next bookmark, it would take you there, regardless if that
bookmark was in the same file or not.

Now, with VB.Net in VisualStudio.Ne t, it will only traverse bookmarks
in the same file. It won't go to the next file. For example, let's
say I have book marks at lines 100 and 200 in frmMain.vb and at line
300 in frmAbout.vb. Now if I'm editing frmMain.vb and click the flag,
it will only move me between lines 100 and 200 of frmMain.vb. What I
would want is for it to switch me to editing frmAbout.vb when that
bookmark's turn comes up -- like the way it does in VB6.

There doesn't seem to be any setting/option for that this I have
found. Bookmarks seem to be visible only within the particular
document that you're editing. The only workaround I have found is to
do Edit/Bookmarks/Add Task List Shortcut from the pulldown menu (or
hit ctrl-k followed by ctrl-H) to add a task, and then double click on
the line in the task panel to go to the desired bookmark. This is not
really a very convenient to set bookmarks (as compared to clicking the
flag).

Does anyone know how to traverse bookmarks in VB.Net with the flag
tools the way we can do it in VB6? If not, has anyone heard if that
is something that will be restored in the next version of Visual
Studio?
