Shared projects across repositories

I am struggling with an issue where my company is attempting to white label it's solution. We have a Solution A, inside Repository A like this

Repository A
      Solution A
          Project A
          Project B
          Project C
          Project D
          Project E (not shared and dependent on project A/B/C/D)

We wish to share a number of projects from Solution A into another Solution B which exists in Repository B. For example

Repository B
      Solution B
          Project A (From Solution A and Repository A)
          Project B (From Solution A and Repository A)
          Project C (From Solution A and Repository A)
          Project D (From Solution A and Repository A)
          Project F (not shared and dependent on project A/B/C/D)

This way when any of the Project A/B/C or D are updated and committed, then the Solution B will just need to be updated and Projects A/B/C and D will be updated from Repository A. Project F will then be built against the new version of Project A/B/C and D.

Is this even possible with TFS?

Please note we require the actual projects in the solutions not the assemblies. This is for debugging purposes.

This is possible! But you know Nuget.org? I think Nuget is the best solution for your case. In this presentation Scott Hanselman shows how use NuGet as Enteprise solution: NuGet for the Enterprise: NuGet in a Continuous Integration Automated Build System

Considering only the following clear requirement

Please note we require the actual projects in the solutions not the assemblies.

You could just keep one solution - with project E, F, ..., N being the white labeled applications.

Like such:

Repository A
      Solution A
          Project Library A
          Project Library B
          Project Library C
          Project Library D
          Project Whitelabel E
          Project Whitelabel F
          Project Whitelabel N
