How do I find the right NuGet package for my framework version

I need the Microsoft ASP.Net Web Pages NuGet package, but I need the version which targets .net 4.0 How do I figure this out? Is there a way to figure this out for any given NuGet Package?

The later versions of the Microsoft.AspNet.WebPages NuGet package only support .NET 4.5

The older version 2.0.30506.0 supports .NET 4.0

To figure this out I used the NuGet Package Explorer, displayed the list of package versions and opened a few of the NuGet packages to see what .NET frameworks they support. As far as I am aware you cannot get the supported .NET frameworks from the metadata returned by the nuget.org OData feed. The only way I know is to look inside the NuGet package itself.
