How can I make a hole only affect a single part in a part studio?

Should be a simple answer but I'm having a bit of trouble here. Basically I have a small box shaped feature on a part with another part that is a sort of lid fastened with four screws. The lid needs clearance holes for the screw but the box part is going to have threads. I've used booleans and things before and there is a way to dictate what part is affected by the operation but I don't see this option for holes.
Thanks in advance!

change the hole type to tapped and set the thread size.
Only one hole is required with both parts in merge scope.

Im sorry I don't understand how that answers my question?
When both parts are in scope the lid will get clearance hole in the lid and the box will be threaded. You won't need separate features for part 1 & 2.
