💻 Code

These are more scenarios from investigations of #42976 where the definition is considered local but is exported and can be referenced by other projects. So we need to think about a way to figure that out efficiently.

/// /shared/src/index.ts
const local = class {
  foo: string;
  constructor() {
    this.foo = "foo";
  }

  fly() {
    console.log(this.foo);
  }
};
export const d = local;
class xy {
  foo: string;
  constructor() {
    this.foo = "foo";
  }

  fly() {
    console.log(this.foo);
  }
};
export { xy };
🙁 Actual behavior

fly usage from project referencing the shared does not load other projects

🙂 Expected behavior

fly usage from project referencing the shared should load other projects

Research direction

Start by reproducing the project-reference scenario shown in the issue, using the shared/index.ts example and a referencing project. Compare find-all-references behavior for the exported local class and exported xy class; the fix is complete when fly usage from the referencing project loads references from other projects.
