Description
I've just upgraded my project to .NET 7 and seen that it results in an error (when running):
```
Error setting value to option 'u, url': Check if Option or Value attribute values are set properly for the given type.
Error setting value to option 't, threads': Check if Option or Value attribute values are set properly for the given type.
etc..
```
https://github.com/KoalaBear84/OpenDirectoryDownloader/
If I build it with the following it fails (when running):
```
dotnet publish OpenDirectoryDownloader --configuration Release --framework net7.0 --runtime win-x64 -p:PublishTrimmed=true
```
If I remove the `-p:PublishTrimmed=true` it works. This tells me it could be because of the trimming that will trim something that is important for this library.
Also tried with `-p:TrimMode=Link` and `-p:TrimMode=CopyUsed`, but it doesn't make a difference, but found out that `-p:TrimMode=partial` (Only worked with a lowercase p here) does, as it restores the behaviour of .NET 6.

Maybe this can be resolved at the library side, but I don't have experience with that.

It would be nice if it can be solved, as more users will try/upgrade to .NET 7. Until then this issue will be helpful for everyone looking for a quick workaround.
