A related issue [Does the IMPORTED\_LOCATION property support generator expressions?](https://discourse.cmake.org/t/does-the-imported-location-property-support-generator-expressions/5730)

never answered the core question.

nor did [Generator expressions for IMPORTED\_IMPLIB/LOCATION properties? - #2 by marc.chevrier](https://discourse.cmake.org/t/generator-expressions-for-imported-implib-location-properties/4564/2)

Which maybe implies I’m just messing something up? 🙂
