I'd be interested to know the answer to this also. However, failing a way to do it directly, one thought that would at least make this feasible would be to implement your own versions of eg. add_executable() and add_library() which keep track of the extra information and then call the original versions. You'd have to name them something different and then change all of your CMakeLists to use your form, but it's at least doable. (You can actually override the existing definitions of add_executable() and add_library() with your own functions, but unfortunately I never found a way from within my overwritten forms to call the original, so it's not very useful.)
