Description
What is the feature you'd like to have?
Currently AFAIK there is no way to add typelib for another platform, however in some cases it is actually needed - for example in ios sdk there is no definitions of CS_* constants, those constants (for some reason) only defined in the macos sdk, but it still can be used in ios code, thus sometimes we need to add typelib for macos into the db with ios binary.
Additional Information:
But the obvious problem i see in this feature is that added typelib may shadow primary one, so may be the feature should be something like - adding only certain types from desired typelib, despite of its platform, but i think it's kinda different feature in this case

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the typelib platform validation and database insertion paths, then determine how an iOS binary could accept macOS definitions without shadowing its primary typelib. Done should include a decided API shape and tests covering cross-platform addition and conflict behavior.
