I did not tried this but

target_link_libraries(<target> [lib1 [lib2 [...]]]
                             [[debug|optimized|general] <lib>] ...)

may be used to specify specific library like in:

target_link_libraries(myapp debug /full/path/to/debug/library1.lib)
target_link_libraries(myapp optimized /full/path/to/release/library1.lib)
