Is it possible to do something line Android's kotlinCompilerExtensionVersion for CfD? Meaning not for Android, but for other targets.

I'm also looking for the right syntax to use a pre-release compose compiler from https://androidx.dev/storage/compose-compiler/repository/ with compose for desktop. Any hints?

Looks like this is the way to go: https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-jb/blob/master/VERSIONING.md#using-jetpack-compose-compiler

So, to be able to use Kotlin 1.8, this works for me:

repositories {
    exclusiveContent {
        forRepository {
            maven("<https://androidx.dev/storage/compose-compiler/repository>")
        }

        filter {
            includeGroup("androidx.compose.compiler")
        }
    }
}

compose {
    kotlinCompilerPlugin.set("androidx.compose.compiler:compiler:1.4.0-dev-k1.8.0-33c0ad36f83")
}
