Sure. Example:

add_library(common MyFancyString.cpp)

add_executable(parent parent_main.cpp)
target_link_libraries(parent common.lib)

add_executable(child child_main.cpp)
target_link_libraries(child common.lib)
add_dependencies(parent child)

Now I make a change to MyFancyString.cpp, select the parent project, and hit F5. Both executables use MyFancyString, so both need to be re-built.

What happens is that common is built, then child, then parent, then parent is 
executed.
What I'd like to happen is that common is built, then child+parent are being built concurrently, and as soon as both are done, parent is executed.

I hope it's clearer now.

Regards,
Andreas

Well cmake will take care of that if you target_link_library(common), right?

Right, sorry. I should have mentioned that they both depend on some library 
common.lib. When that library has to be rebuilt, both exes need to be rebuilt, 
too.

Can't you only launch parent.exe in VS and remove the dependency?

In our build, we have two executables, parent.exe launches child.exe as a child 
process. ATM the build is set up with add_dependencies(parent child). So when 
using F5 in Visual Studio, child.exe is built first, then parent.exe, then 
parent.exe is launched. Is it possible to set this up such that child.exe and 
parent.exe are built in parallel before launching parent?
