Programmatically Add a Reference to a Visual Studio Project

Question

I want to programmatically add references to Visual Studio projects. This is for creating an add in tool to Visual Studio. What I want to do is use an API of some sort. What I don't want to deal with is just editing the XML of the project file (.csproj, .vbproj).

Is there any knowledge out there on how to do this? I couldn't find anything here or on google that answered this scenario...
