Description

## Visual Studio Version
17.3.5

## Summary
If I create a ITask with [Output] of a path to `Foo.dll`, and define;
```

```
I get intellisense, and can successfully compile against fx. `Foo.dll`, but I dont see the Reference is the Project Explorer.
In Rider I see `Foo.dll`, in the Implicit references.

Are there anyway that I can get the reference to show up? Maybe im missing some MetaData on the ITaskItem, but im unsure.

```






```

## Expected Behavior
ITask output, setting ItemName `Reference` or `ProjectReference` would show up in the IDE.

## Actual Behavior
Not seeing implicit References.
