Is it possible to invoke .NET Reflector when pressing F1 in Visual Studio?

When I press F1 in Visual Studio 2008, I would like to start .NET reflector and navigate to the selected class/method (instead of waiting for the Visual Studio documentation to start up).

Is it possible to configure Visual Studio in that way?

This is not precisely an answer to your question, but I would like to add the fact that there is also a built-in way in Visual Studio to open the (de-compiled) source code of the definition of the currently selected class/method by simply pressing F12.

Definitely.

You would have to write a Macro (Tools > Macros) to find the context Assembly & Type under the caret, then spawn: 

Reflector <assemblyname> /select:my.namespace.typename

And finally rebind F1 to your Macro (although I would be inclined to bind it to a variant, like ctrl+shift+f1 or something since you don't always hit f1 for type help)
