It looks like this property has been implemented only for Intel on Linux.

However, Modules/Platform/Windows-icl.cmake hard-codes use of "xilink" for
linking shared libraries and uses the compiler to link executables regardless
of the value of CMAKE_LINKER.  Going back to your original post, if you use

enable_language(Fortran)

or pass the language to the project() command (see its documentation) then
the Windows-icl information should be loaded to configure the build rules.
