+.. note::
+ A call to :command:`target_link_libraries(<target> ...)` may update this
+ property on ``<target>``. If ``<target>`` was not created in the same
+ directory as the call then :command:`target_link_libraries` will add a
+ suffix of the form ``::@<directory-id>`` to each entry, where the
+ ``::@`` is a separator and the ``<directory-id>`` is unspecified.
+ This tells the generators that the named libraries must be looked up in
+ the scope of the caller rather than in the scope in which the
+ ``<target>`` was created. Valid directory ids are stripped on export
+ by the :command:`install(EXPORT)` and :command:`export` commands.
