Inheriting props and targets files through ProjectReferences

[Cjewett]

Hi,

I was wondering what the recommended solution to the following problem is.

We have a repository named Utilities that contains multiple projects. For some of the projects in the Utility repository they include their own props and targets files. During the NuGet packaging process they are included. When users reference these packages via NuGet everything works as we would expect them to.

The problem is for projects in the same repository we typically use ProjectReferences instead of PackageReference.
Project1 has ProjectReference to Project2
Project2 contains a props and targets file
Project1 builds but the props and targets file from Project2 are not factored in

It feels like this is probably a common problem or at least one where I'm not the first person to run into it. Are there any recommendations to solve this problem?

Thanks
