Importing file from another folder to an Intellij-idea project without copying it?

I have a Python project in IntelliJ-Idea. I would like to import a remote file into my project, without copying it into the project folder (but it should be just listed in idea)

Is it somehow possible?

You can add the remote file by adding a content root to your module.

See Project Structure > Modules > 'YourModule' > +Add Content Root

This will include the 'other' content in your project without physically copying the other content into your project.

Note: you will of course need to be able to access the other content from within IntelliJ so by "remote" I presume you mean not located within your project directory but available on your host rather than something like 'available in a remote GitHub repo'.
