How to get directory of a recursive package

[MikeRosoft]

Scenario: I have a project which references several NuGet packages (using <PackageReference> directives). Those packages themselves reference other packages. I need to find the directory of some of the recursively included packages (reason: I am building a Wix MSI custom action, and the packages contain some native DLL files which for some reason don't get packed into the custom action). How can I do that? It seems to me that the only way is to directly reference the recursive package (<PackageReference Include="RecursivePackage" Version="ReferencedVersion" GeneratePathProperty="true" />), but that will fix the package version and cause a conflict if I update the referencing package and the version of the recursive package is changed.
