Horizon is great and all but it insists on using real parts for everything which would be ok if it had lcsc parts catalog which it does not.
But it uses json for parts. So scraping and just writing it to your library is a real option, especially when you fall back on existing parts. It can also import parts from kicad, although I didn't try that.
