How to use Linqpad with TFM net5.0-windows10.0.19041.0
I originally had a .NET Core 3.1 console application using the <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.Windows.SDK.Contracts" Version="10.0.19041.1" />. After upgrading to .NET 5, I no longer can reference this NuGet package and these packages are not going to be needed going forward and I can pull them in directly by changing the TFM from standard net5.0 to net5.0-windows10.0.19041.0. This worked for me in Visual Studio 2019 and the application now compiles and I can access the library correctly. However I now have a bug and really would like to ability to reproduce and use LinqPad as I did previously however now it seems that is not possible because inside LinqPad, I cannot change the <TargetFramework> as I do in the .csproj with <TargetFramework>net5.0-windows10.0.19041.0</TargetFramework>.
Will this be something added later on, or does anyone know a way I can do this?

Have you tried adding a NuGet package reference to Microsoft.Windows.SDK.NET.Ref?
Hi Joe, I tried this and it works. Thank you!
I missed out the targeting pack, since its not needed with the TFM method. This is awesome.
