Description
I can search for files in dependencies with a workspace symbol search by prefixing the class name with a #. This is generally sufficient as class names should be the same as file names. However, there doesn't seem to be a way to search for non-java files in a dependency via the Ctrl+P menu (if I wanted to access a dependency's log4j2.xml file for example). Is there a way to search for these files, or is this a feature that could be added?

Research direction
Start by tracing the dependency file-search path behind the Ctrl+P menu and compare it with workspace symbol search using the # prefix. Verify the behavior with a dependency containing log4j2.xml; the work is done when non-Java files in dependencies can be found and opened by name.
