+INTERFACE_LINK_DEPENDS
+----------------------
+
+Additional public interface files on which a target binary depends for linking.
+
+This property is supported only by :generator:`Ninja` and
+:ref:`Makefile Generators`.
+It is intended to specify dependencies on "linker scripts" for
+custom Makefile link rules.
+
+When target dependencies are specified using :command:`target_link_libraries`,
+CMake will read this property from all target dependencies to determine the
+build properties of the consumer.
+
+Contents of ``INTERFACE_LINK_DEPENDS`` may use "generator expressions"
+with the syntax ``$<...>``. See the :manual:`cmake-generator-expressions(7)`
+manual for available expressions. See the :manual:`cmake-buildsystem(7)`
+-manual for more on defining buildsystem properties.
+
+Link dependency files usage requirements commonly differ between the build-tree
+and the install-tree. The ``BUILD_INTERFACE`` and ``INSTALL_INTERFACE``
+generator expressions can be used to describe separate usage requirements
+based on the usage location. Relative paths are allowed within the
+``INSTALL_INTERFACE`` expression and are interpreted relative to the
+installation prefix. For example:
+
+.. code-block:: cmake
+
+ set_property(TARGET mylib PROPERTY INTERFACE_LINK_DEPENDS
+ $<BUILD_INTERFACE:${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/mylinkscript>
+ $<INSTALL_INTERFACE:mylinkscript> # <prefix>/mylinkscript
+ )
