[CMake] Is there an elegant way to get list of object files participating into a library?

Yes.

I have done what you proposed and works fine if I use the static library. Unfortunately the utility I use to extract the symbols, which is orders of magnitude faster than anything based on dumpbin,  works at the level of the object files. This is why I am interested to get the list of them.
