Answer 1

As workaround you can create the following macro:

Sub GoToDefinitionUsingObjectBrowser()
    DTE.ExecuteCommand("Edit.SelectCurrentWord")
    DTE.ExecuteCommand("View.ObjectBrowser")
    DTE.ExecuteCommand("View.ObjectBrowserSearch", DTE.ActiveDocument.Selection.Text)
End Sub

Then go to Tools/Options/Keyboard and assign hot key for this macro.

Tested in Visual Studio 2010.
