Is it possible in NSwag to generate just C# client interfaces and annotate their methods with some custom attributes?

I am using NSwag to generate C# rest client for my asp.net core web API.
At the moment, I just need to generate the client interfaces and not the classes themselves.
I tried the following settings to generate just C# client interfaces but it does not generate nor classes neither interfaces.

GenerateClientClasses = false 
GenerateClientInterfaces = true

Is there anything wrong with my settings?

Also, Is there any way to extend or change the generated code of the client interfaces. For example how I can annotate the client interface methods with some custom attributes? For example:

public partial interface IGetEmployeeByIdClient
{
    // How to add the following custom attributes to the generated client interface method
    [MyCustomerAttribute("/api/v1/GetEmployeeById/{id}"] )
    System.Threading.Tasks.Task<GetEmployeeByIdQueryResult> GetEmployeeByIdAsync(string id);  
}

You have to set GenerateClientClasses to true to generate the class and then set SuppressClientClassesOutput to true to not output the class. The interface will now reflect the methods in the class but will not be a part of your output.

This does not look intuitive but I managed to get just interfaces with following configuration.

var settings = new TypeScriptClientGeneratorSettings
{
    GenerateClientClasses = false,
    GenerateDtoTypes = true,
    GenerateClientInterfaces = true,
    TypeScriptGeneratorSettings =
    {
        TypeStyle = NJsonSchema.CodeGeneration.TypeScript.TypeScriptTypeStyle.Interface
    }
};
