That is the (only) context in which you can extend the definition of the
target with custom commands.
Since when?
As far as I know it has always been this way.
I haven't seen that documented anywhere. IMHO this
behavior is counter-intuitive, in general I expect the scope of a
target to not depend on the cmake command I am trying to use.
I think it is sensible that the definition of a target is scoped to one
single directory.
Where the definition of a target consists of e.g. sources, properties,
dependencies and custom commands related to the target.
You can reference/query global targets in other directories but you can
not change them.
