Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
In version 2 you cound specify the path to the cmake executable, but in v4 this has been removed.
When you have a cross toolchain (e.g. generated by yocto) installed somewhere, you want to use the cmake binary provided by that toolchain to get a consistent build behavior. Relying on a locally installed cmake can lead to surprises, as it may not even be installed at all, or be a different version that behaves differently and breaks the build.

Describe the solution you'd like
Please allow specifying the cmake executable to use (per project if possible!).

Describe alternatives you've considered
Setting a "CMAKE" build variable or env variable in the project settings does not work. Maybe messing with the Path variable might work, but it does not feel like a clean solution.
