i normally use NativeLink to generate the ModelSim .do file initially. then i edit the generated .do file to add internal signals and/or change the radix
you can then tell Quartus to use the edited .do file instead of generating a new one every time Tools > EDA Simulation > RTL Simulation is run. you can do this in the NativeLink setup by choosing the Script to compile test bench instead of Compile test bench radio button
the downside is you will have to edit the script directly to add/remove any HDL source files to the ModelSim compilation, or else re-run the normal NativeLink flow and copy+paste your additions to the newly generated script
