GoTo Implementation in other gradle module
We have a gradle project with different modules. This module depends on each other but only on compile dependencies not on the complete module. This is achieved through a special configuration in the modules, which provides only the interfaces and data classes against which other modules can compile. This configuration is then declared as dependency in a gradle module:
implementation project(path: ":module-to-depend-on", configuration: "spi")
As this dependency contains no implementing classes, we cannot go to implementations of a certain interface of this dependency. If we include the whole module with
implementation project(":module-to-depend-on")
we are able to jump to implementations of interfaces. Is there a way to tell Intellij to search for implementations without declaring the whole module as dependency as we do not want to give access to the concrete implementations.

For the navigation as for the compilation IDE uses the information from module's dependencies tab. There it adds the dependencies configured for this module. In case of a Gradle-based projects this information is taken solely from Gradle build files.
You can consider creating special configuration in build scripts that will only be activated when running/importing from IDE: IDE add special properties that you can evaluate in build scripts, please see https://stackoverflow.com/a/63411337/2000323
