vs2005: reference web app code from console app without replicating the dll's?

Is it possible to create a console app that uses code from a web app *without* having VS copy the web's dll, and all the dll's its dependent upon from the web directory over into the console's bin directory?  I'd like the console app to use/link to the web code back in it's original directory.

Not sure if this is relevant but I created the reference by browsing to the web app's dll.  The "Projects" tab in the "Add Reference" dialog is empty (doesn't show any Projects).

Thanks for any help-

Thanks CraigWagner.  Your description made me realize I could also deploy the console's EXE into the web app's bin directory, which is working.

Thanks for your help-
