package.to is not respected when adding editable (develop=true) dependency

[salembream]

Description

when adding a local dependency as editable the installation is not following the package.to option.

to reproduce the issue, please clone this repo: https://github.com/salembream/editable_bug_poetry_

then test as below

cd check_packages

poetry install
poetry shell

python ./run_check.py

notice the non_editable package works fine, while the editable one fails.

Hello from non_editable_module
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "D:\temp\testeditable\check_packages\run_check.py", line 5, in <module>
    from dist_name.editable.editable_module import editable_module
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'dist_name.editable'

Workarounds

not directly thru poetry, but I think we can have the required behavior by using symlinks when installing editable dependency which defines package.to
