+INSTALL_OBJECT_NAME_STRATEGY
+----------------------------
+
+.. versionadded:: 4.2
+
+``INSTALL_OBJECT_NAME_STRATEGY`` is a string target property variable
+specifying the strategy to use when naming installed object files. The
+supported values are:
+
+- ``FULL``: Object files are named after the associated source file.
+- ``SHORT``: Object files are named based on the hash of the source file name
+  to reduce path lengths.
+
+When unset or the named strategy is not supported, the ``FULL`` strategy is
+used.
+
+This property is initialized by the value of the variable
+:variable:`CMAKE_INSTALL_OBJECT_NAME_STRATEGY` if it is set when a target is
+created.
+
+.. note::
+  Not all generators support all strategies and paths may differ between
+  generators.
