How would one spawn an entity such as a tf_projectile at a specific location in the map, as opposed to using ent_create which spawns it at the location of the player's crosshair?

Yeah, but you have to have an existing entity in hammer to reference for that. Or the console will say:
Couldn't find any entities named tf_projectile_spellspawnzombie teamnum 2, which point_template spawn_redskeleton is specifying.
Then make tf_projectile_spellspawnzombie entity in hammer, give it a targetname keyvalue, name it and use it as reference
That's the problem. It doesn't exist as an entity in hammer.
That would be because it's not defined in the FGD. It still exists, Hammer just doesn't know what it is in its own little dictionary.
Just make the reference entity, give it the targetname keyvalue and name it something, voila, you have a reference entity.
trigger_add_or_remove_tf_player_attributes doesn't exist in hammer but that doesn't mean it won't work, valve just haven't updated their FGD for Hammer to show it, that's why Hammer thinks it doesn't exist but the game knows it exists.

I had no idea you could use entities that hammer didn't recognize, I guess I underestimated the power of the fonz.
