How to reference dependency version in Maven?

I am trying to insert value of implementation version to manifest file, but not of current project, as you can see in my code right now (<Implementation-Version>${project.version}</Implementation-Version>):

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-shade-plugin</artifactId>
    <executions>
        <execution>
            <goals>
                <goal>shade</goal>
            </goals>
            <configuration>
                <finalName>ispf-linux</finalName>
                <shadedArtifactAttached>true</shadedArtifactAttached>
                <transformers>
                    <transformer
                            implementation="org.apache.maven.plugins.shade.resource.ManifestResourceTransformer">
                        <mainClass>desktop.linux.main.Main</mainClass>
                        <manifestEntries>
                            <Implementation-Version>${project.version}</Implementation-Version>
                        </manifestEntries>
                    </transformer>
                </transformers>
            </configuration>
        </execution>
    </executions>
</plugin>

, but this dependency version. How to do that?

<dependency>
    <groupId>registry</groupId>
    <artifactId>desktop.common</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.0</version>
</dependency>

I would suggest declaring a property for the version:

<properties>
    <desktop.common.version>1.0.0</desktop.common.version>
</properties>

Then referencing this property in both places. Here:

<dependency>
    <groupId>registry</groupId>
    <artifactId>desktop.common</artifactId>
    <version>${desktop.common.version}</version>
</dependency>

And here:

<manifestEntries>
    <Implementation-Version>${desktop.common.version}</Implementation-Version>
</manifestEntries>
