To my knowledge, there is actually no advice how to cite the Modelica Standard Library software. Recently, I've discovered a possibility to add the CITATION.cff file to facilitate this.
The GitHub even supports this format and some other tools do so as well: https://github.com/citation-file-format/citation-file-format/blob/main/README.md
Could this be a way for MSL as well?

Yes, this is a valuable option. I already played with CITATION.cff some time ago and noticed that preferred-citation is not supported by all tools. preferred-citation is useful if you have a prefer citation redirection to an already available reference, instead of just the repository itself. For MSL software this is not the case as there is no standard publication. Thus, I appreciate the effort to add
cff-version: 1.2.0 message: "If you use this software, please cite it using these metadata." authors: - name: "Modelica Association and contributors" license: BSD-3-Clause title: "Modelica Standard Library" version: 4.0.0 date-released: "2020年06月04日" repository-code: "https://github.com/modelica/ModelicaStandardLibrary"

Some people use Zenodo to create a DOI for a repo:
