On adding Id manually and trying to F12 (Navigate to Definition) into it, you get:

Ah. Thank you for your explanation.

The definition of the symbol you are referencing does not exist. There is no Tenant.Id symbol, so it fails.

There is nothing in (specially the 3rd link) that says you cannot have a ‘.’-access into a base class.

You’re misunderstanding the specification. Unless specifically legal, something is not legal. We don’t say “we didn’t remember to say thsi is not allowed, so you can do it”. We say “we only allow it if we explicitly stated it was allowed”.
