Hi @Anonymous

I'm not sure you can in vanilla Revit. You might need to open the linked DWGs in AutoCAD Architecture if you want them to exist as IFC however this will likely only contain geometry.

On a side note if your exporting to IFC from Revit I would also highly recommend you look at the IFC addin for Revit which you can get on the Autodesk app store, this is the link for the 2018 add in:

https://apps.autodesk.com/RVT/en/Detail/Index?id=6193770166503453647&appLang=en&os=Win64

It gives you additional options for exporting to IFC, although including linked DWG files doesn't appear to be one.
