This option is misleading and not very useful. In the future there will be a more robust way of querying and filtering dependencies. Meanwhile you can get the list of requirement strings for a set of targets using something like

./pants dependencies ::
| xargs ./pants filter --target-type=python_requirement
| xargs ./pants peek | jq -r '.[][&quot;requirements&quot;][]'


Which types of dependencies to list, where source means source code dependencies and 3rdparty means third-party requirement strings.
