Can I not reference the generated `libs` from `/gradle/libs.versions.toml` in my `plugins {}` blocks?

I have a subproject `foo` where I'm trying to do this:
```plugins {
    id(libs.kotlin.allopen.plugin)
}```
That being declared in `libs.versions.toml` as:
```[versions]
kotlin = "1.9.22"

[libraries]
kotlin-allopen-plugin = { module = "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-allopen", version.ref = "kotlin" }```

I get the error:
```Type mismatch: inferred type is Provider&lt;MinimalExternalModuleDependency!&gt;! but String was expected```

You need to declare it in the `[plugins]` section and use `alias(...)` instead of `id(...)`
