No not really. It's a hack. There is an operation called:

IMember RenameMember (RefactorerContext ctx, 
                      IType cls, 
                      IMember member, 
                      string newName);

And that's it. Ok you've:
MemberReferenceCollection FindMemberReferences (RefactorerContext ctx,
string fileName, IType cls, IMember member);
