For reference, discussion here:

 push of LinkOptionsCommand topic branch
 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.programming.tools.cmake.devel/9203 [^]

covers the possibility of a LINK_OPTIONS build property, INTERFACE_LINK_OPTIONS usage requirement, and target_link_options command to set them.

Currently one can use target_link_libraries PRIVATE mode to add link flags to a specific target.

I want this feature too.
I need transitive link flags.
If I remember correctly, the target_link_libraries trick didn't work for Ninja. (I didn't check every generator.)
