With all do respect, why does it matter? Yes, in the generated target
dependencies are handled for me but when I call get_target_property() with
LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES it only includes the dependencies I specific for
only that executable target, it does not provide me the transitive
dependencies. This is a problem for me.

In any case, I decided to maintain my own dependency variables for all my
projects and bypass using get_target_property() for now. This works
exceptionally well.
