platform designer how to add -L argument to -makelib line in get_design_files using _hw.tcl

If I make a Platform Designer module with a _hw.tcl file, there doesn't seem to be a way to make PD add a -L argument to the -makelib line in get_design_files. It seems I must add all the files with ...

Unfortunately, Platform Designer(PD) does not support the feature to add a `-L` argument to the -makelib line in get_design_files.
The _hw.tcl file is designed to be self-contained for IP distribution. PD expects all HDL dependencies (including packages) to be explicitly added to the IP's filesets using add_fileset or add_fileset_file, as seen in the Avalon verification IPs.

For reference, here is the link to the available Platform Designer _hw.tcl commands:

Also attached a learning course video on how to customize _hw.tcl file, section 11. _hw.tcl File Customization
