Just wrote this for generic full outer cross ref

create table #XRefDBs(xtype varchar(2),SourceDB varchar(100), Object varchar(100), RefDB varchar(100))

declare @sourcedbname varchar(100),
        @searchfordbname varchar(100),
        @sql nvarchar(4000)
declare curs cursor for
    select name 
    from sysdatabases
    where dbid>4
open curs
fetch next from curs into @sourcedbname
while @@fetch_status=0
    begin
    print @sourcedbname
    declare curs2 cursor for 
        select name 
        from sysdatabases
        where dbid>4
        and name <> @sourcedbname
    open curs2
    fetch next from curs2 into @searchfordbname
    while @@fetch_status=0
        begin
        print @searchfordbname
        set @sql = 
        'INSERT INTO #XRefDBs (xtype,SourceDB,Object, RefDB)
        select DISTINCT o.xtype,'''+@sourcedbname+''', o.name,'''+@searchfordbname+'''
        from '+@sourcedbname+'.dbo.syscomments c
        join '+@sourcedbname+'.dbo.sysobjects o on c.id=o.id
        where o.xtype in (''V'',''P'',''FN'',''TR'')
        and (text like ''%'+@searchfordbname+'.%''
          or text like ''%'+@searchfordbname+'].%'')'
        print @sql
        exec sp_executesql @sql
        fetch next from curs2 into @searchfordbname
        end
    close curs2
    deallocate curs2
    fetch next from curs into @sourcedbname
    end
close curs
deallocate curs

select * from #XRefDBs
