'How to step into NuGet packages outside of debug session

Following situation:

We have a framework that sits in an hosted GitLab repository. We have a pipeline that creates a NuGet package nuget pack framework.sln which is consumable in any VS solution. So far so good.

Now we want to be able to step into the framework code inside any other solution. E.g. framework.myClass.myMethod() > Rightclick > "Go to implementation" but without having to start a debug session. Just while normally editing the code.

What I tried so far:

  • I tried to create .snupkg packages by changing the command to nuget pack framework.sln -Symbols
  • I tried to use SourceLink which I was not able to get up and running

Am I completely wrong on this one? Is it even possible to do so outside a normal debug session? Thanks for your help!

This seems to be impossible in Visual Studio without Resharper.

Microsoft has been working on this for a while:

To setup SourceLink, see this answer:
