My product consists of code from different solutions. I have a solution A and want to debug a class from a second solution B. In the moment my workflow is:

1. Double click the sourcefile in solution B
1. Right click on the tab and select 'Open Containing Folder'
1. Look for the file in Windows Explorer
1. Drag the file in solution A

For such scenarios it would be great to just drag the sourcefile from solution B into solution A.
