This restriction doesn't apply if you use Visual Assist. As Brian already
mentioned Visual Assist is THE MSVC addon you want to get. Not only does it
allow "goto definition" without any hassle but also has very clever general
autocomplete functionality and working (as opposed to basic MSVC where you
have to wait forever after entering . or ->) member completion. It also
shows you the function declaration of the function you're currently trying
to call, expands macros if you move the mouse over them and shows you the
scope you're currently in. Oh, and it allows better syntax highlighting and
gobs of other useful features I forgot to mention.

Visual Assist, cygwin, putty and Araxis Merge are my favourite productivity
enhancers besides sleep ;)
