David's original answer does what you require.<br>
<br>
Simply include <code>add_custom_target(Foo ...)</code> and don't
include <code>add_dependencies(Bar Foo)</code>.<br>
<br>
If your project is also called Bar, then Bar.sln will include
Foo.vcproj and Bar.vcproj, but Foo will not be built when invoking
"Build Solution".<br>

<div>I don't want Bar depend on Foo, because I do not want Foo's
commands to execute when I build Bar. However, because Bar does
not depend on Foo, Foo.vcproj will not be part of Bar.sln. I
need a way to make sure that Foo.vcproj opens with Bar.sln
without creating that dependency.</div>
