How to specify the library for files in the Component Editor?

I am making a custom IP component in Quartus Prime 26.1. Most files are simply part of the "work" library, however there is at least one file which needs to be compiled under a specific library name...

    Inside IP, you can only use work. Or move that file out of the IP to use mylib

Under Project Navigator Files section, right-click -> Properties -> Specify library

Thank you, however my custom component, when instantiated in Platform Designer, is an IP core. So, I think I am unable to change the library for individual files within an IP core (but I can change the library which the entire IP core is compiled into).

So I might have to think of some kind of workaround.

    change library "mylib" to "work" ?

      So in other words, ditch the library and just use "work" ? This is what I was trying to avoid, but if it is simply not possible in Quartus, then I'll have no other option.
