My QtCreator 4.5.1 for Windows doesn't have that option at all. And with that it is probably clear why it shouldn't be done that way in Linux either ;-)

I dont' know why this option doesn't show up at all in your Creator but I think that menu option is deactivated because MuseScore uses CMake and IIRC QtCreator can't really modify a CMake project the same way it can modify a qmake based project. I think Gangani needs to modify the CMake setup.

Probably the diff between QtCreator on Windows and Linux?
But yes, adding libs needs to get done in the CMakeLists.txt, and differently per platform

While we are at it: what's the purpose of linking the Mysql client lib into MS? Using that would require a MySQL server installation as well, which is pretty unrealistic for most MS users (unless you use the embedded MySql server library ...). If you "just" need a database it might be much simpler to use Sqlite, wich is an in-process SQL database (i.e. it doesn't need an external server running). It's probably best to use Qt's sql module for that (https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/sql-driver.html#qsqlite).

Qt is not, but QtCreator is, more or less, pretty useless for developing plugins.
I'm not sure though what all this has to do with the topic of this thread?

I thing I fond more appropriate topic for that question. https://musescore.org/en/node/269220#comment-825547
I thought this is right topic to find the answer on how to make qt-creator work with MuseScore plugins, but I see I am not the only one confused with that matter, what library to use and what software to use to develop and improve plugins as MuseScore's Plugin Creator is rather scant.

Dear Jojo,
i find the development of plugins with the musescore plugin editor very difficult.
I am used to Eclipse or XCode, where you have context-sensitive help, debugging, etc. and all of this is not available in Musescore plugin editor.
A simple task such as figuring out if a specific music sequence is present in a score, and at which positions, becomes quite complicated by not having the possibility to inspect with breakpoints and usual programming tools.
Therefore, please advice on how to enable doing that in some sort of IDE.
Thankyou

Because there isn't any explanation and none seems needed, it just works
