Feature request: IntelliJ Idea (support for scanning multiple folders, in an IntelliJ workspace)

Hi,

I used the Claude Code CLI the other day, on an IntelliJ project. It worked great.

My main project though is using the new IntelliJ workspace (so its actually 3-4 projects, in their own folders), which are accessible from a very lightweight folder just called 'workspace'

So like the attached

Many of my challenges (where I spend a lot of thinking time) is individually inside projects, but ALSO cross integrating code between sub-projects (e.g. abstracting out common code, css styles, environment variables, etc.)

So my request is, can claude code be able to detect the modules inside an IntelliJ workspace (each module is a project in itself, and resides in their own folder, not necessarily nested inside the workspace folder, on the mac filing system)

Otherwise, as an Engineer, I definitely say hats off to the Claude Code team!
