My LBS installed a Topeak MTX Explorer rear rack on my 2019 Como 5.0 prior to delivery. This includes a sliding track mount for a Topeak trunk bag. Been very happy with it. Topeak makes a ton of Explorer variants (disc brakes or not, spring or not, etc.) I believe this is close: Topeak MTX Explorer.
Specialized has a rack that is designed specifically for the "Roll" series of comfort bike and the Como bikes. We had them installed on our 2020 3.0 models. https://www.specialized.com/us/en/roll-rack/p/156045?color=230947-156045
These photos show it mounted on both the small frame low-entry model, and the M/L size standard frame. Hard to see in these pics, but the main support arms mount on the inside of the rear triangle, making a very clean install. They have a nice clearance between the tire and the rack which leaves plenty of room for the arms on my 1UpUSA rack.

So I am about 8 years late in asking but...how were you able to attach the rear fender strut to the rear rack and ultimately to the frame? Apparently there was enough clearance to keep it out of the wheel, but was it really close? If you still have the bike, I would love to see a picture of this. Thank you!
