Can't attach custom build logger to Visual Studio for MSBuild

We've created a custom build logger and attached it to the build with the "-logger" switch and it worked great for command line builds. (Docs were awesome: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/msbuild/build-loggers?view=vs-2017)

However, we're can't find a way to attach the custom logger for Visual Studio builds which also uses MSBuild. The only method mentioned online is a hack that overrides the Build target: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28733875/can-a-msbuild-custom-logger-be-specified-within-a-project-file/28806181#28806181

I was wondering if there is any changes in VS 2017 or MSBuild that allows custom build loggers to be attached to VS builds. If there isn't any, are there any plans to enable them for VS in the future?
