Description

I have a bunch of XML files that reference an xsl file as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="project.html.xsl"?>
<project ...>
...
</project>

It would be nice to be able to follow that href ([CTRL]+click) to have the referenced file (in this case an xsl) be opened.

Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by reproducing the example XML in VS Code and tracing the existing handling of href references and Ctrl-click navigation. Done means an href pointing to an XSL file opens that referenced file when followed.
