Description
Given a view or layout in a Grails plugin, IDEA can find the views/templates if the plugin is **not** specified, but fails to find them if the `plugin` attr is specified *and* it is self-referential (the `plugin` specified in the attr is the same plugin as the one you're developing.
Assuming we are working in `example` (i.e., plugin descriptor = `ExampleGrailsPlugin.groovy`)
**main.gsp**
```
<%-- works: --%>
<%-- does not work: --%>
```
In the first (working) example, we can Cmd+click on "partial" to be taken to that view.
In the second (non-working) example:
- We cannot Cmd+click on "partial" to be taken to that view);
- IDEA marks the attr values in red and reports that it cannot resolve:
- directory 'common';
- template '_partial.gsp'; or
- symbol 'example'
The inspection ought to be able to detect that the `plugin` referenced in the attr is self-referential and then resolve those directories and templates.

Research direction
Reproduce the resolution problem using main.gsp and the self-referential plugin declared by ExampleGrailsPlugin.groovy. Start at the g:render handling for the plugin attribute and compare it with the working render without that attribute. Done means Cmd+click resolves common/partial, _partial.gsp, and the example plugin without inspection errors.
