How to support multiple app configs in Rider

Question

So I'm building a .net app in rider.

.Net has the concept of a "config file"... the app.config file and then within that it supports "sub configs" that can override and add parameters.

Now the questions is how do run my application with one of these config files selected?

If you spend some time on Rider's forum, you should notice someone asked a few years ago,

Then the developers worked on the feature,

and a plugin was shipped as the final work,
