Gantt Chart for only few tasks
You say you have a schedule with many projects. Is that a dynamic master with subprojects or simply a single large project with many summary lines representing individual "projects"? In either case those "external" dependencies will appear as normal predecessors and successors although in a Master/Subproject structure the external links will contain the full path to the external task such as shown in this sample.
If you want to isolate all the external links, a simple custom filter such as this will do it:
Applying that filter will produce:
If however you have just a single large file with multiple "project" summary lines, you can set a Flag field for all dependencies that cross summary groups and then filter on the Flag field.
Does that give you what you want?

It is a single large file with multiple "project" summary lines. Setting up a flag field occurred to me too, but every time I need the view, I will have to put up the filter. I was wondering if there is a permanent view which always list only the dependencies. How can I create a custom view, just for showing dependencies ?
Also, is there is a way to display custom filed text on gantt chart ?
