Hi,

I’m working on CPP WinUI3 desktop application with cmake. By default WinUI3 project uses MSBuild. We made the project use cmake with the help of this sample project. ref - [GitHub - fredemmott/cmake-cpp-winrt-winui3: Archived experiment - see https://github.com/openkneeboard/openkneeboard for a real world example](https://github.com/fredemmott/cmake-cpp-winrt-winui3) (use this project as reference)

WinUI3 uses NuGet packages, and it has a corresponding file called _package.manifest_ which looks like this

I’m trying to attach this file to my cmake WinUI3 project. I did not find any way to attach this file to my project with cmake.

How to add this file to the cmake project?

Thank you.

I suspect that [`VS_USER_PROPS`](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/prop_tgt/VS_USER_PROPS.html) would be the way to do this.
