Is it possible to only install part of an npm package using npm install from its URL?

I have multi component project which uses lerna. Within this repo, I'm able to share a utility with its components.
So for example my project has the following components:
- common-utils
- component1
- component2
component1 uses common-utils. Lernajs allows me to to do that.
Now there is a different repo, which also wants to use common-utils. I found out that it is possible to have a repo as an npm dependency using it's git URL as explained here. So I was wondering is it possible to install only part of the package? If it were possible, I'd just install common-utils for it and use it.
I know about scopes, but that requires publishing to the npm registry. So without doing that do you think is it possible to install part of a package using it's git URL? Or a different way to share across repos?
javascript node.js git npm lerna
