linking external library in IAR MSP430

Question

I created an MSP430 library file, and I want to link with it, but I don't find where I can add the libraries to link against in IAR gui. Does anyone knows where to configure it ?

I've checked the documentation, but nothing appears to be related to external libraries, only the CLIB and DLIB.

Unlike other IAR embedded workbench releases (such as IAR EWARM), in MSP430 you need to add the library you want to link against like you add a normal source/header file. This is a bit weird approach, but that how it's done.
