+CUDA only: Enables device linking for the specific library target where
+required.
+
+If set, this will tell the required compilers to enable device linking
+on the library target. Device linking is an additional link step
+required by some CUDA compilers when :prop_tgt:`CUDA_SEPARABLE_COMPILATION` is
+enabled. Normally device linking is deferred until a shared library or
+executable is generated, allowing for multiple static libraries to resolve
+device symbols at the same time when they are used by a shared library or
+executable.
 
 By default static library targets have this property is disabled,
 while shared, module, and executable targets have this property enabled.
