Just use manual links. Create directory
/etc/systemd/{system,user}/foo.target.wants and link to your unit
there. The name is better be the same as original unit name with
exception of templates (I do not think it is enforced right now but it
may be in the future).

Or if you know in advance which units should be started by your
target, just list them in Wants= directive in your target unit.
