How to set "When Conditions" in C# application

I'm trying to convert an existing C# to premake. I'm using premake5 alpha 6. In my C# project, there are "When conditions" that set the reference include depending on the build configuration if it's release|x86, Debug|x86..etc. How do I set the When Condition= in premake?

In my existing project file:

<When Condition=" ('$(Configuration)|$(Platform)' == 'Release|AnyCPU' Or ('$(Configuration)|$(Platform)' == 'Release|x86')  ">
      <ItemGroup>
        <Reference Include="Project_v100">
          <HintPath>..\..\bin\x86\Project_v100.dll</HintPath>
        </Reference>
      </ItemGroup>
</When>

I know that if i do this in premake the result will be something like the below.

In Premake:

links "Project_v100.dll"

In project file:

<Reference Include="Project_v100">
      <HintPath>..\..\bin\x86\Project_v100.dll</HintPath>
      <Private>False</Private>
    </Reference>

I think that you're looking for filter : https://github.com/premake/premake-core/wiki/filter

More specifically:

filter "configurations:Release"
   links "Project_v100"

Here is the user guide page on filters, and as Citron already mentioned, the reference manual page.
