Research direction
Start by reviewing Premake's Visual Studio project-generation documentation and searching the existing generator handling for the Visual Studio “Copy file” item type. Confirm whether a Premake setting already maps to this property; if not, define the expected syntax and identify the relevant generator tests before implementing it.
