Hello,
Basically I'm trying to install a static library version (zlib-ng:x64-windows-static) in manifest mode by using per-port customization as @autoantwort kindly suggested.
vcpkg.json:

{
    "$schema": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/microsoft/vcpkg/master/scripts/vcpkg.schema.json",
    "name": "myproject",
    "version": "1.0.0",
    "dependencies": [
      "yasm",
      "zlib-ng"
    ],
    "vcpkg-configuration": {
        "overlay-ports": [ "./my-ports" ]
    }
}

customport.cmake (inside ./my-ports):

MESSAGE(STATUS "Checking zlib-ng ...")
set(VCPKG_LIBRARY_LINKAGE dynamic)
if(PORT MATCHES "zlib-ng")
    set(VCPKG_LIBRARY_LINKAGE static)
ENDIF()

Log:

It looks like my overlay port is completely ignored ("Checking zlib-ng ..." is not even printed).
I'm sure I'm missing something obvious.
Thanks

As I suggested you have to create your own triplet. You can read the documentation I have linked

Thanks for pointing me out again to the documentation you linked. I read it more carefully and I realized there were some mistakes from my side. Now it works!
For anyone that may have the same problem, below are the corrections.
vcpkg.json:

{
    "$schema": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/microsoft/vcpkg/master/scripts/vcpkg.schema.json",
    "name": "myproject",
    "version": "1.0.0",
    "dependencies": [
      "yasm",
      "zlib-ng"
    ],
    "vcpkg-configuration": {
        "overlay-triplets": [ "./vcpkg-custom-triplets" ]
    }    
}

"../vcpkg-custom-triplets/x64-windows-static-custom.cmake":

set(VCPKG_TARGET_ARCHITECTURE x64)

if(${PORT} MATCHES "zlib-ng")
	message(STATUS "> ${PORT} will be built as static...")
	set(VCPKG_CRT_LINKAGE static)
	set(VCPKG_LIBRARY_LINKAGE static)
else()
	message(STATUS "> ${PORT} will be built as dynamic...")
	set(VCPKG_CRT_LINKAGE dynamic)
	set(VCPKG_LIBRARY_LINKAGE dynamic)
endif()

Cmake:
-DVCPKG_TARGET_TRIPLET:STRING="x64-windows-static-custom" ($env:VCPKG_TARGET_TRIPLET="x64-windows-static-custom" didn't worked)

Thanks for putting the response here @netcorefan1 😁

In case someone also needs to switch their MSVC compilation in CMake to use static linking: https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/variable/CMAKE_MSVC_RUNTIME_LIBRARY.html#variable:CMAKE_MSVC_RUNTIME_LIBRARY
