In Xcode a URL type is defined to have a custom URL Scheme that opens the application, I wanted to know how to set this configuration from cmake.

Doesn’t this just end up editing the `Info.plist` file that ends up in the application bundle. I suspect that the [`MACOSX_BUNDLE_INFO_PLIST`](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/prop_tgt/MACOSX_BUNDLE_INFO_PLIST.html) can be used to provide an `Info.plist` file that contains whatever is needed for this.
