File harvesting with FireGiant.HeatWave.BuildTools in .wixlib without defining <Directory>

Question

I’m experimenting with the new file harvesting approach supported in WiX v5.0.2.
In my .wixlib project I’ve installed FireGiant.HeatWave.BuildTools.wixext and added code like this:

<Wix xmlns="http://wixtoolset.org/schemas/v4/wxs"
     xmlns:fg="http://www.firegiant.com/schemas/v4/wxs/heatwave/buildtools">
  <Fragment>
    <ComponentGroup Id="ContentComponents">
      <Component Directory="ContentFolder">
        <fg:HarvestFolder Source="path\to\content\**" />
      </Component>
    </ComponentGroup>
  </Fragment>
</Wix>

The project builds successfully, but no files are harvested.

When I add a real element in the project, harvesting works as expected.
However, in my design the directory structure is defined in the MSI project, not in the .wixlib.
So in the .wixlib I only want to reference the directory like this:

<DirectoryRef Id="ContentFolder" />

Question:
Is there a way to use the new fg:HarvestFolder approach in a .wixlib where the is not defined, and only a is available (with the actual directory structure provided by the consuming MSI project)?

Could you please suggest here ?

That should just work, but for advanced harvesting, you'll want to follow up with FireGiant.
