So? From the project base item you can fetch the project and find the
builddir. If a project manager wants to allow building of a specific
target it should do so by additions to the context menu.

Of course, because nobody made it more intelligent yet.

Because not all project builders know what a target is. 

If you need to customize an interface create a subclass and add new
methods. Then have a plugin implement these.
