Description
Sometimes I have source code which is not available locally, however, vscode makes it so I can't find files respective to some root path. this would be much more convenient if I could. Even better would be if windbg was an available option to debug with code.

Research direction
Start by tracing how sourceFileMapping is handled for PDB relative paths in the VS Code C/C++ debugger. Verify whether a configured root path lets the debugger resolve unavailable source files, and treat WinDbg support as a separate question because the issue does not define its scope or acceptance criteria.
