Looks like you either have to make a .defs file manually or create/find 
a OMF based import lib.

I did find this[0] no idea if it'll work with Optlink without changes.

FYI .defs file is nice since Optlink will recognize it but MSVC link 
won't. Example[1] note that dxva2 has a .def file in same directory but 
it will work for all Windows builds since MSVC provides its own import lib.
