I've customized 'xref-search-program-alist' that defines ripgrep
command line to contain additional options:

  -M 500 --max-columns-preview

that truncates long lines of ripgrep output
after we discussed this in https://debbugs.gnu.org/44983

But maybe your new option would be easier to customize.
