I achieved this with one of my snaps by simply using the copy plugin
to put the libs into lib/<triple> and then having a launch script
which ensures the LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set appropriately.

So, (assuming you're only targetting amd64) copy the libs to
lib/x86_64-linux-gnu and in your launcher have something along the
lines.

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$SNAP/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
