    Description

      When I do a `ctrl+click` on a Component, it jumps to auto generated files in the build directory instead of the real file that I wanna edit. it is annoying and is happening after  Qt Creator 13.0.2 AFAIR.

       

      Window {
    width: 640
    height: 480
    visible: true
    title: qsTr("Hello World")
    
    MyRect{
        
    }       
}

       
      project directory files: 
      Main.qml

      MyRect.qml

       

      for instance in the above example if I do a ctrl+click on MyRect it opens build\Desktop_Qt_6_7_2_MSVC2019_64bit-Release\MyRect.qml

      my project structure is more complicated and I'm using qt_add_qml_module so maybe you can't reproduce it with just a simple structure, please test it with a nested structure project.

      something like;

      Main.qml

      Common\Windows\MyRect.qml
