Although I'm suspicious of why a dissector should need anything from Qt,
have a look at the CMake wiki page for "Finding a library" at
https://cmake.org/Wiki/CMake:How_To_Find_Libraries

Basically add the appropriate find_package(), include_directories() and
target_link_libraries() calls to the CMakeLists.txt of your plugin for the
QT library you want.

Note that this behaviour is by design, CMake generates the Visual Studio
solutions and projects from the info in the CMakeLists.txt files, there is
no way to make changes in the VS IDE and push them back into the
CMakeLists.txt files (except if you open the file in the VS editor).

You might also have to add steps to the CMakeLists.txt to copy the required
Qt DLL to the staging directory and the update the packaging scripts to put
it into an installer (packaging\nsis\custom_plugins.txt).
