No, there is presently no facility for retrieving a list of properties.<br>

Is such a functionality also missing for variable names and their attributes?<br></blockquote><div><br>If you look at the top of this page:<br><a href="http://cmake.org/cmake/help/cmake-2-8-docs.html">http://cmake.org/cmake/help/cmake-2-8-docs.html</a><br>
<br>There are links to the "well known by CMake" properties that exist on various entities: global, directories, targets, tests, files, cache variables.<br><br>There is also the command line:<br> cmake --help-property-list<br>
<br>However, the property mechanism allows project-specific extension of the set of properties on many of these entities. So these lists are incomplete.<br><br>To see about variables and cache variables, see the cmake command:<br>

Are more software developers interested to query settings only from a subset of items?<br></blockquote><div><br>I'm sure many are interested.<br><br>Is there a concrete problem you are trying to solve by asking these questions? If you have a specific problem, perhaps there's a way to get something working for you without these additions to CMake. Can you tell us if you have a specific problem you're trying to solve?<br>
