Description
Document the use case from https://github.com/dotnet/msbuild/issues/7000: `ProjectReference` for an executable project:
_I have two projects : RootProject and ChildProcess. Both are executables, and RootProject starts ChildProcess.exe as part of its work._
How to properly configure build for this case?

Research direction
Start by reading the linked MSBuild issue 7000 and the existing ProjectReference documentation. Document how to configure a RootProject executable that starts a referenced ChildProcess executable, including the relevant build behavior and configuration guidance; done when the use case is clearly covered for users with this project setup.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
