That issue is now tracked here:

 https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake/issues/12435

I've just added some notes to the discussion.

Steve, do you recall why $<TARGET_PROPERTY:tgt,LINK_LIBRARIES>
is not transitive as genexes for other usage requirements are?

Not sure.

Without knowing more about an "ivy module descriptor" I cannot say whether
cmake-server or a generate-time solution from CMake is better.  I can say
I don't think it should be the responsibility of project code to generate
files for external tooling unrelated to the build process.  The tooling
should be able to extract the information from any CMake project, and the
cmake-server approach would allow that.
