should be possible using qemu args: -usbdevice host:vendor_id:product_id
in libvirt replace @VENDOR@ and @DEVICE@ to device specific properties:
<domain type='kvm'>
<name>...</name>
…
<devices>
…
<hostdev mode='subsystem' type='usb'>
<source>
<vendor id='0x at VENDOR@'/>
<product id='0x at DEVICE@'/>
</source>
</hostdev>
</devices>
</domain>
if this option is not exposed in ui you can use vdsm-hooks[1] to modify the libvirt configuration and inject such device.
