Hi! qmake actually creates a “subproject” per sub-.pro file, and these “subproject” can be opened, built, run separately.
CMake works different, a build only consists of a single “project”, so it is not possible to open “subprojects”. The options, as I see them: Accept that, and open the toplevel Qt project. Should work fine, and _because_ CMake does not recursively create subprojects, the incremental build with Ninja is very fast on the whole project. No recursive make involved. Build your module separately from the rest of Qt, and open that in Qt Creator. Building a module separate from qtbase is actually pretty easy with CMake. Build qtbase and other modules that you depend on via qt5, and then just run "<qt>/qtbase/bin/qt-cmake-private -S <path_to_module_src> -B <path_to_module_build>” and build. Since you ran CMake separately from Qt on your module, you’ll have a separate project that you can open in Qt Creator.
