Description

Using the Go to definition option on a blueprint node in the Binary editor opens Visual Studio but does not actually show the definition as requested. The user is instead given the following warning in their output log. The Go to definition option is also present in blueprint only projects, when it shouldn't be.

Steps to Reproduce
  1. Create a new blank C++ project in a Binary editor
  2. Create an actor blueprint
  3. In the blueprint's event graph, add a Print String node
  4. Right-click the node and select "Go to definition"
    Result: Visual Studio opens but you receive a warning and the definition of the node never appears.
    Expected: Visual Studio opens and shows the definition of the node.
