Research direction
Start in the Object Explorer implementation and trace how tables or stored procedures are filtered and scripted. Compare those paths with synonym handling, then determine the existing tests or entry points that cover Object Explorer actions. Done means users can find selected synonyms and generate create or delete scripts for them.
