is it possible to get a list of all targets on which a particular

Any ideas how to accomplish this task?
I guess you want to make use of this information in CMake, and are not
just curious?
you are absolutely right. It's not just for information. I have a lot of
targets that I import and I would like query all dependent targets of my
applications to figure out which DLLs are needed to run the application.
I would use this information to either set the PATH environment or copy
the DLLs to my binary directory
I'm not sure this can be made to work correctly in all cases. If you
have e.g. imported libB which has a private depencency on libA, and are
trying to build exeC linked to libB, libA won't be reported as a
dependency of libB (and may not even be exported), but is still required
to run exeC.
That said, given your use case, I'm not sure why you need to know about
other than link libraries? How would a custom dependency create a
runtime link dependency?
