Skip dialog initial focus with child component

[williamjulianvicary]

I'm using the Tailwind UI Slide Over, and I can see in the documentation that it's possible to adjust the initial focus component with refs:
https://headlessui.dev/vue/dialog#managing-focus-within-your-dialog

However, I essentially have my component wrapped with a slot, like so:

        <slide-over-form title="Add Project"  :open="showAddProject" @close="showAddProject = false">
          <add-project-form @close="showAddProject = false"></add-project-form>
        </slide-over-form>

Is it possible, within slide-over-form to skip the close button in that component (only initially, allowing the tab back to the close button) to the add-project-form's input element? I've tried a few approaches and wasn't able to find something that worked
