Unable to reference poco[sqlite3] using vcpkg manifest

I'm using vcpkg's manifest feature to reference the dependencies my project has. I'd like to use Poco's SQLite3 wrapper but I can't figure out how to reference it in the vcpkg.json file. When I use poco[sqlite3], vcpkg gives me an error stating that I have a mal-formatted reference in my manifest file. When I use poco, Poco is built without the SQLite3 wrapper.

After reading the vcpkg documentation, I discovered there's a specific syntax to specify that a project requires certain features of a package.

In my case, I had to use the following syntax to specify that my project needed the SQLite3 feature of Poco:

{
  "name": "poco",
  "features": ["sqlite3"]
}
