Actually, if you right click on the solution name, then Properties, you can choose "Multiple startup projects" and there select which projects you want started at the same time (useful for debugging a client/server application for example).
Indeed. I just checked the option in Visual Studio, it's there. Unfortunately, I just diff'ed the .sln file and there is absolutely no modification to it when you set multiple startup projects. This means that Visual Studio stores these settings in the .suo file.
The .suo file format is closed and binary. It also changes with every new version of Visual Studio. This means I can't write a generic approach. On top of that, the .suo file is a user space setting and should not checked into source control. Bummer.
If you have time for it, you could try to reverse engineer it and submit a PR.
Haven't heard back from you. Should I close the issue?
Yes you can, I have no immediate use for the tool so I don't expect to dig further into the topic myself (if I ever do, I will submit a PR).
