"Goto defintion" option for BP nodes does nothing
So I was told that you can search for C++ function equivalents of Blueprint nodes if you right-click a blueprint node and choose "Goto Definition" (only works for C++ projects). So I made a fresh new C++ project to test this out. Made a dummy blueprint and added a node to test but when I click "Goto Definition" nothing happens. A little pop up window pops up in the bottom right corner saying "Reading C++ Symbols" and after that nothing happens. I opened up my VS 2017 window to see if some .h or .cpp file opened up but nope... nothing. Am I using this feature wrong or is this a bug? Help!

Using "Predict Projectile Path by TraceChannel" as an example, if you hover over the node in the editor you will see at the bottom of the tooltip what the target is. For that node, the target is "Gameplay Statics." If you then open

Same thing is happening to me
