Perhaps this is what you're looking for:
http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v2.8.8/cmake.html#command:add_custom_command

For example, this command copies a set of libraries into a directory:
if(WIN32)
  foreach(ITEM ${DEP_SHARED_LIBRARIES})
    add_custom_command(TARGET mytarget PRE_BUILD COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND}
-E copy ${ITEM} .  WORKING_DIRECTORY ${PROJECT_BINARY_DIR} COMMENT "Copying
${ITEM} to ${PROJECT_BINARY_DIR}")
  endforeach()
endif()

You could use the PRE_LINK key and what ever your custom command is I
expect.
