Is it possible to use tsconfig `paths` with a (project) `reference`?

Question

I am making use of project references in a typescript project, and was wondering if this will work with paths?

Essentially this would entail creating a named path for a directory outside of the rootDir. Has anyone seen this done? Or do you perhaps have direct knowledge that it cannot be done?

TIA

As soon as I posted my question, I fiddled with the path a bit more and it "just worked."

Here's the relevant code:

"compilerOptions": {
  "paths": {
     "@src/*": ["../src/*"],
   },
},
"references": [
  { "path": "../" }
],
