Edit `settings.gradle` with UPL

A previous discussion here How to edit "Setting.gradle" ? indicated that this might become possible with 4.25. However, as far as I can tell from looking at the documentation for the latest engine versions Using the Unreal Plugin Language for Mobile Projects in Unreal Engine | Unreal Engine 5.3 Documentation there isn’t any mention of settings.gradle

Has there been any update on this? Is there a recommended workaround for adding to settings.gradle?

Edit: spelling and
It looks like settings.gradle is mentioned in What's New | Unreal Engine 5.3 Documentation

New: Added more control over Gradle project. The following are available in UPL:

— Sets ANDROID_TOOLS_BUILD_GRADLE_VERSION in gradle.properties

— Adds settings.gradle

However, I don’t see any mention of settings.gradle in Engine/Source/Programs/UnrealBuildTool/System/UnrealPluginLanguage.cs

Further Edit:
It looks like <settingsGradleAdditions></settingsGradleAdditions> has been added in Engine/Source/Programs/UnrealBuildTool/Platform/Android/UEDeployAndroid.cs

However, it appears that documentation has not been updated.
