How get IDEA Gradle task "run configuration" from editor working if using the `tasks.register()` syntax?

IDEA has an inspection to automatically transform task XXX() to tasks.register().

But if this syntax is used, you can no longer run commands from the .gradle source file: there's no gutter icon and nor will the "Run/Run context configuration" keyboard shortcut work. Note that I can still run tasks from the Gradle tool view - just not from the editor.

Is there any config item or plugin or something I need to tweak to make this work again?

Version: IntelliJ IDEA 2023.2.2 (Ultimate Edition)
