Run CMake's PACKAGE target from Visual Studio 2017

I try to build a C++ project with CMake on Visual Studio 2017. So far the CMake support is quite convincing. However, how do I call the PACKAGE target introduced by cpack? Does anyone have an idea how to do this from within the GUI (it does not show up in the context menu of the CMakeLists.txt file). The INSTALL as well as the BUILD_ALL target show up in the context menu of the CMakeLists.txt file but the PACKAGE target is missing. Is this a bug or am I missing something?

The default CMake PACKAGE target is only added by CMake if a file named CPackConfig.cmake exists in the outermost CMake build directory.

The CPackConfig.cmake file is usually generated automatically by CMake when the CPack module is included. It may however be generated under a different name, if the variable CPACK_OUTPUT_CONFIG_FILE is set before the inclusion of CPack.
