Give us the option to add custom target commands
Answered
Right now it seems like we only can pick from a few predefined target commands (add_executable, add_library, cuda_add_executable etc. etc.) when adding new files to the project, but there is no option to add more of these target commands.
I'm currently using the ImGui Bundle package, which makes use of a custom made target command macro “imgui_bundle_add_app” which does some of the gruntwork “behind the scenes”. However I cannot for the life of me get CLion to recognize this, resulting in me having to add files by hand.
It would be really nice if we could add custom target commands somewhere somehow.

Thanks Anna Falevskaya , I didn't know if this was the right place to add.
What worries me a little bit is that the original feature request is 2 weeks off from being a year old and doesn't seem to have received any traction so far. I'm not convinced that this is going to be resolved or at least looked into within a reasonable time frame.
Mathijs, with limited resources, we always have to prioritize the issues we fix and the features we implement based on the popularity of issues in the tracker, the direction we have in mind for the product’s evolution, and other factors. Unfortunately, at the moment, we don't have any plans for CPP-42398, as there are currently tasks with higher priority. We will track the votes and use cases for CPP-42398 and consider it for future updates.
