FWIW, here's a possible way how to get everything to work,
so that 'C-x p G' works either when a file is visited
in a project dir or in a lib dir, and eglot is connected
to the project server by visiting any file in the lib dir
(that eglot-extend-to-xref can't do):

```
(defvar my-project-dir "...")
(defvar my-lib-dir "...")
(add-hook 'prog-mode-hook
          (lambda ()
            (when (string-match-p my-project-dir default-directory)
              (setq-local project-vc-external-roots-function
                          (lambda () (list my-lib-dir)))
              (eglot-ensure))))

(defun my-project-try-lib (dir)
  (when (string-match-p my-lib-dir dir)
    (if (bound-and-true-p eglot-lsp-context)
        ;; for eglot.el
        `(vc Git ,my-project-dir)
      ;; for project.el
      `(transient . ,my-lib-dir))))

(with-eval-after-load 'project
  (add-to-list 'project-find-functions 'my-project-try-lib))
```
