Go To Definition on external package only works as expected the very first time

[severity:It's more difficult to complete my work]
In a C# project I have a PackageReference to Vanara.PInvoke.User32, and in the code a call to a method from it, something akin to the following.

Vanara.PInvoke.User32.SendMessage(new HWND(), uint.MaxValue, IntPtr.Zero, "");

Performing "Go To Definition" action on it in a .NET Framework project for the very first time for a specific version of the package (f.e. 4.0.1) brings me to the definition of the method in the User32 class, as expected.
Any subsequent time, from different projects, as long as it's .NET Framework and the same package version, gets me to TvOut.cs [embedded] where public static partial class User32 is defined. Trying to go to the method I want via the navigation bar results in a The definition of the object is hidden. error message.

This is exceptionally frustrating.

Interestingly, this works just fine for .NET8 projects every time.
