CMakeLists.txt inside target nodes is confusing, add toggle?

    Description

      In the projects tree view there is a CMakeLists.txt item for every single target node now.

      To me this can be quite confusing. For instance if there is just a single CMakeLists.txt that defines multiple targets. In the attached screenshot you can see how it looks like for one of my projects. There are seven CMakeLists.txt entries that all lead to the same file. Well, it leads you to the target definition, which can be useful, but I would usually not need it and then it basically just reduces clarity and wastes vertical space.

      So how about adding a way to optionally disable / toggle this feature?

      Probably too much if nobody else desperately needs it, but anyway...
