Answer 1

1. Open Visual Studio
2. Right lick the solution Explorer and select Add | Existing item...
3. Select the file and question, but in the "Add" drop down select Add as Link.

Alternatively I would suggest creating a class library project that you share in both solutions, this might benefit you in the future.

You should add them as a link/shortcut

Right-click the project, select Add > Existing Item, and in the dialog, "Add" drop down, select "Add As Link".
