In the "Add Reference" dialog for a WiX project in Visual Studio, Web
Deployment Projects (*.wdproj) are not included in the list of projects that
can be selected as project references.  If I manually add a project
reference (i.e. open the WiX project file in a text editor and enter the
project name, path, and GUID), I receive an error message upon building
stating "The target 'GetTargetPath' does not exist in the project".

I can add a target to the Web Deployment Project as follows (based on how
other Microsoft targets files appear), though, to eliminate the error
message:
  <Target Name="GetTargetPath" Outputs="$(TargetPath)" />

I'm not sure if that is an appropriate solution, though.  How should the
"GetTargetPath" issue be addressed?  Would it be something on the WiX side
or the Web Deployment Project side?
