Description
I'm trying to add a breakpoint in a class library. I must first open the target library class file (decompiled), and add a breakpoint later.
But it looks like I can view the class library only while debugging the java application. How can I goto specific library class file in vscode?

Research direction
No source file or test is named. Start by reproducing the Java debugging workflow in VS Code and investigate how the extension exposes decompiled target library classes; done would mean opening a specific library class and adding a breakpoint without first starting the application.
