Is there a way within Visual Studio to easily get qualified type names?

In newer versions of ReSharper you can use the ReSharper/Edit/Copy Fully-qualified name/ Source browser URI to clipboard menu option.

Assembly Information is probably close to what you are looking for. It seems to only show information on your references but should't be a problem if you have another project in your solution referencing the assembly.

Good idea for a plug-in if it's possible.
