Know the name of the project where a component is located

When analyzing a project (e.g. a program call graph) with components called (or calling), if a component is not in the project (no source available) then we don't know which project it is in.
One possibility might be to display the project name in the "properties" view of the component.

Your request is currently in line with our product strategy and we have planned it for a future release of the product. Thank you for your suggestion and continued support.

    We have done an initial review of this requirement and would like to ask a couple of questions to clarify.

    What is the specific scenario you would like to see covered related with programs that are not in the project? Could you please provide a more specific Use Case?

    For your reference, now in 'Explore project' view and on callgraphs the programs which are only referred in the project(don't have source) are marked.
    If a search is made on 'Search in file' view for the name of the program and you have selected all the projects available in the environment, a list will all the projects that contains that program can be identified.
