As far as I know you can "generate" targets at CMake-time but not at build-time.
So from my point of view this "computed target" but not really "dynamic target".

This cannot work because "${t_cmd}" is NOT a command
this is the OUTPUT of a custom command (which is't named).

Precisely.

if you want your target to trigger the command you may
add the OUTPUT of the command as a dependency of the target.
add_custom_target(${t}
DEPENDS ${t_cmd}
