Navigating to partial razor files by filename string

[vsfeedback]

This issue has been moved from a ticket on Developer Community.

In our codebase we often break webpages down by adding components with the following snippet:

@Html.Partial("~/Views/xy.cshtml")

It would be very useful if you could navigate to the specified .cshtml file by putting the caret in the string, and pressing F12, as you often do with other code sections.

this would be very useful feature
please implement it also for the taghelper "partial"

I agree with @hagailuger on this, navigation to a partial file would be very useful in a partial tag. It's one of the biggest frictions I have working in Razor Pages. AFAIK this feature exists on VS Code, but not VS. Additionally, any sort of IntelliSense for the name field of a partial tag would be appreciated. I know it does for the for field of the partial tag, so the tag helper feels half-complete in its implementation.
