Automatically link to local packages?

[JonathanWilbur]

I get that Nx uses TypeScript paths to make modules resolve to typescript files, but is there some way to make the compiled output resolve by the NPM package name?

In other words, let's say I have a project that looks like this:

/apps
    appy
/libs
    a
    b

Is there some way I can dynamically import library b from appy using import("b")? Note that, since library b is in typescript, it will have to be compiled, and this compiled output will be in /dist/libs/b.
