cordova and windows phone 8.1

Question

I am developing crossplatform application with native plugins using ionic. It is important to me to have wp subproject targeted to (windows phone 8.1), no silverlight. Unfortunately

cordova platform add wp8

creates project targeted to (windows phone 8.0).

I trying to avoid changing target manually. Any ideas?
