Description
HI,
we are trying to add to a C# project a custom reference (we are building with VS2019) and we need to reference some local packages installed in the target machine. What we are using is links like this:
filter "system:windows"
links { "C:\\Program Files\\Rhino 7\\System\\RhinoWindows.dll" }
will generate this: <Reference Include="RhinoWindows" /> with no hintpath. This is bad as the project will not build. How can we add the full path to the link?

Research direction
Start from the Windows links configuration shown in the issue and inspect how it becomes the generated entry. Determine how a full local DLL path could be preserved as a HintPath, then verify that the generated VS2019 project can resolve RhinoWindows.dll on the target machine.
