Answer 1

Right click on the Silverlight project and select Add --> Existing item. In the dialog, navigate to the location of the web project. Select the file(s) you need but instead of clicking on "Add", click on the dropdown next to the Add button and select "Add As Link".

Answer 2

In your Silverlight project:

1. Right-click References > Add Reference.
2. On the left tab, select Solution.
3. Select which project(s) you want to include a reference to.

In Silverlight project C# files, you may have to add a 'using' statement if you are trying to use a Class from a referenced project.

var uri = new Uri(Application.Current.Host.Source, "../DirectoryName/FileName.docx"); 
HtmlPage.Window.Navigate(uri);
