Navigation to errors in files generated by a source generator in Roslyn from build output doesn't work in VS #66928

For example, the build output window displays this path

src\Compilers\CSharp\Portable\CSharpSyntaxGenerator\CSharpSyntaxGenerator.SourceGenerator\Syntax.xml.Syntax.Generated.cs

and, after double clicking it, VS goes to a blank window,

From error window, VS goes to

Local\Temp\VSGeneratedDocuments\88c0daf0-ef0e-1bba-0412-f9788595e3e2\Syntax.xml.Syntax.Generated.cs

And the actual file that is updated in source control is

src\Compilers\CSharp\Portable\Generated\CSharpSyntaxGenerator\CSharpSyntaxGenerator.SourceGenerator\Syntax.xml.Syntax.Generated.cs

This is very confusing and feels very broken.
