Description
### Issue Description
I'm following the guide from https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/msbuild/how-to-build-specific-targets-in-solutions-by-using-msbuild-exe
Some targets cannot be run from the solution level using msbuid .sln -t::
### Reproduce
For example,`msbuild Consoleapp.sln -t:ConsoleApp:build` gives me
>error MSB4057: The target "ConsoleApp:build" does not exist in the project.
However, rebuild and clean seems to be working.
### Analysis
I've checked .sln.metaproj. There are only ConsoleApp.Clean, Console:Public and Console:Rebuild created. No build or custom target.
### Versions & Configurations
Microsoft (R) Build Engine version 16.7.0+b89cb5fde for .NET Framework
