Sounds like you are looking for 'target_link_libraries'?

I'm not sure there is such a thing as a non-inheriting variable in CMake 
:-). There are global properties, but they're, well, global...

IOW, anything (scoped) you set in one scope is visible to all 'child' 
scopes, be they directories, functions, etc. So you don't need to do 
anything; it will happen automatically.

See the 'install' command.
