Add a Create New Project Referencing Current Project command #4184

Open

Description

@ThunderFrame

Recent versions of VBA allow for a project to reference another project created by the same host.

If you have an existing project, say an add-in, and you'd like to create a new project that refers to that add-in, you have to switch to the host, add a new document, switch back to the VBE, ensure the project's don't have the same name, then use the references dialog to add the reference from the new project to the add-in project.

It would be useful if RD allowed you to complete all of those steps via a single command.

Note, there is a requirement that the add-in project has been saved to disk at least once - It can't be a new, unsaved project.

This may require host interop commands in order to work, but I'd argue that it's worth it for Excel alone.
