CLion Run Configuration for a new Pi Pico Debugger

Hello, 
I'm using a new debugger, intended for Pi Pico. It is called pico_debug and is available here: https://github.com/essele/pico_debug

According to its documentation, if I were using Visual Code, then the run configuration would need to look like this:
{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
           "name": "Pico Debug",
            "cwd": "${workspaceRoot}",
            "executable": "${command:cmake.launchTargetPath}",
            "request": "launch",
            "type": "cortex-debug",
            "servertype": "external",
            "gdbPath" : "gdb-multiarch",
            "gdbTarget" : "/dev/ttyACM2",
            "device": "RP2040",
            "svdFile": "${env:PICO_SDK_PATH}/src/rp2040/hardware_regs/rp2040.svd",

            // runToEntryPoint causes differences in behavour between launch and reset
            // so best avoided for this use case.
            //"runToEntryPoint": "main",

            // breakAfterReset means it consistantly stops in the reset handler code
            // so we can follow that with some commands to get us to main
            "breakAfterReset": true,

            // get_to_main puts a breakpoint at main, gets there, and then remove is
            // immediately after flashing. This means that by the time any ram based
            // breakpoints are applied the relevant stuff is in RAM.
            "postLaunchCommands": [
                "break main", "continue", "clear main",
            ],
            // With breakAfterReset we have a consistent approach so can use the same
            // commands to get us to main after a restart...
            "postRestartCommands": [
                "break main",
                "continue",
                "clear main"
            ]
        }
    ]
}

Notice that the GDB target is a USB device, called /dev/ttyACM2 in that example, although on windows it will be a USB device present in the Windows Control Panel, and that the servertype is set to "external". 

What Run Configuration can I use in CLion, that will approximate that Visual Code configuration? 

A screenshot showing what it should look like would be really helpful if possible.

I think this will help a lot of people, because it allows for very fast development on the Pi Pico, compared to the older PicoProbe.
Many thanks.
