The feature is new in 3.7 and was contributed here:

 cmake-gui: Add button to open the generated project
 https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake/commit/1ca2d5d1

I'm not particularly familiar with how it works, but from a quick
glance at the code it may be using file associations.

If all that happened during a single cmake-gui session perhaps some
state is not being cleaned up when changing build trees.
