Create a sample LoanApplication schema and a newXmlSchema. Open newXmlSchema. In Schema view, right-click Referenced Schemas > Add > Import expand all of By File; select newLoanApplication.xsd; OK expand Referenced Schemas > import {...} > Elements right-click one of the element > Go To ==> "Schema" doesn't fit here.
The Goto-Schema menu item for imported components is by design -- it opens the editor for the imported document and selects the given component. This is intentional and a desirable feature, allowing the user to easily acquire an editable view of the component.
Indeed it is a useful feature. The issue is about the term 'Schema,' which can be somewhat confusing. The current Go To menu includes Source, Schema, Design, and Definition. At first glance, it'd seem Go To Schema and Go To Definition do the same thing while in fact the former goes to "Element' definition while the latter goes to 'Type' definition. Functionality wise, both do the right thing and prove useful; however, "Schema" - meant as a view rather than an action - is not as intuitive a label as it should be. Reopen as P4.
More of a usability issue and so far there has been co complains about it.
