Specifying custom inertia?

I'd like to specify custom density and mass for parts that I didn't capture in full detail---like panels that I modeled as solid when in truth they are hollow or patterned with voids, like honeycomb panels. There is no standard material that will work in these cases.
Plus, I don't always get my proportions right, and in those cases it's more important to me to set the total mass than to set the material or its density. I can get away with this because I'm not manufacturing anything.
Is there any way that I can do this in Onshape? Ideally I'd like to select a part and enter its mass or at least its density directly.
