CMake has full control over the generation of the install rules.
For "clean" this is only true for the Makefile generator.

No, because ninja has its own model for a "clean" operation.
Getting custom "clean" behavior in general would require adding
a custom target that looks like a normal target to build systems
but inside is full of commands to clean. For this I don't think
any special support is needed from CMake:
add_custom_target(myclean
COMMAND ${whatever_command_user_wants}
COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} --build . --target clean --config $<CONFIG>
)
