This paper talks about new method of detecting non-transiting exoplanets using their dusty tails. It also shows what the transit signature might look like.
Question: If I see anything like that in the data, should it be accounted for and added to the candidates list?

"Scaled to the few transiting planets we know of with
dusty tails, it appears quite realistic that the amplitudes
of the scattering peaks could be in the range 50-500 ppm.
Furthermore, because these can be detected to orbital inclination
angles of & 45◦
, we might potentially be able to
detect about an equal number of non-transiting as transiting
dusty planets via this method."Posted
