The recommended way is to use CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL.
Why would you want to use some other method which might not work?

Something must cause them to be included, either explicitly or implicitly.

What package(s) in particular are you asking about?

You can find out why recipes are included, etc, by looking at
the output from bitbake.  Try this:
   % bitbake fsl-image-qt5 -g -u depexp

This will bring up a "dependency explorer" where you can see what
depends on what (directly at build time or implicitly at runtime).
