You dont. Metadata plugins have no access to custom fields.

It's technically possible, of course, but it would require breaking the API and various headaches with merging metadata results and lots of work in for example excluding of metadata fields which is currently a global setting and would need to become a per library setting and so on. It's never been worth the effort for me.
