Adding New Folders to Report Server Project

I am building a reporting services project, that will eventually contain 100+
reports.
I would like to add subfolders to my Report Server project, to help with
organising them (Finance,Warehouse etc).
I frequently perform this task in standard VS projects (class libraries
etc), but I can't find an option to do this here.
Is this possible?You should be able to add new projects to your main solution, which will
create a new folder for each project.
Open your solution.
Right click on the Solution name in your Solution Explorer. Click on Add ->
New Project
Type a name and choose the location. It could be as a subfolder of your
solution, or as a new folder somewhere else.
I haven't figured out how to use Shared Data Sources from different sub
projects, but you can copy existing datasources failry easily between the
different projects, so that's not too much of a problem. And by doing it
like this, you can have datasources connecting to the same database with
different credentials in the same project structure, which is nice.

If I reference a second report server project, will I be able to pick up
referenced reports in the Navigation -> Jump to report option. (Similar to
the way in which you can search for referenced datasets in standard projects)
I am planning on having a lot of links between reports in my project, and
this is one of the reason why I wanted to avoid multiple projects.
Thank yo for your comments

folder as well as the report name. However, you can only test the report
when deployed.
