Enabling wide tile for a Windows Phone 8.1 Silverlight app with WMS

I have a Windows Phone 8.1 Silverlight app that I need to switch to WMS. When using WMS, the tile definitions from WMAppManifest.xml are no longer used, all the tiles are defined in Package.appxmanifest.

The problem is, in Package.appxmanifest there is no UI for setting the tiles. When I open the file as XML, I can see no definition for a wide tile.

So how do I add the wide tile?

If I remember, I added the wide tile directly in the XML. And I've that kind of lines (check the Wide310x150Logo property) :

 <Application Id="xxxxx" Executable="AGHost.exe" EntryPoint="View/MainPage.xaml">
  <m3:VisualElements DisplayName="SeriesManiac" Square150x150Logo="Assets\150x150.png" Square44x44Logo="Assets\Logo.png" Description="SeriesManiac" ForegroundText="light" BackgroundColor="transparent" ToastCapable="true">
    <m3:DefaultTile Wide310x150Logo="Assets\WideLogo.png" Square71x71Logo="Assets\71x71.png">
    </m3:DefaultTile>
    <m3:SplashScreen Image="Assets\Splashscreen.png" />
  </m3:VisualElements>
  <Extensions>
    <Extension Category="windows.backgroundTasks" EntryPoint="AgHost.BackgroundTask">
      <BackgroundTasks>
        <Task Type="systemEvent" />
      </BackgroundTasks>
    </Extension>
  </Extensions>
</Application>
