How to effect weapons like the Longsword of Life Stealing? It deals extra 3d6 damage on a critical.

There are two other threads that talk about Life Stealing effects, this link should get you to them; https://cse.google.com/cse/publicurl?cx=010772646014076752437:l_cx3x-oggq

You can add an effect to the character while they are using the sword.

Try:
“DMG: 3d6 critical”

Its possible to use it as a weapon property?

Apart from the effect that Moon Wizard mentions above you can also add extra dice into the weapon meta data dialog (click magnifying glass on the weapon line in the action tab). In both these cases however the additional damage will be done whatever weapon is used.

You could have a look at this extension (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?40833-5E-Advanced-Effects-(items-npcs-characters)) which allows for the additional damage only on an action.

No. You can specify a crit range in a weapon property but not additional dice on a critical.
