Description
This is somewhat similar to my previous issue #13729, but I think it would be much better to allow someone to set a custom build directory as a setting.
I actually have a need to have the build directory target be dynamic, so it would be wonderful if a feature such as this also allowed you to use vars and even command vars (so I could write a VsCode extension to provide it with the info I need)
In my opinion, this would be a much better option rather than bothering with #13729, unless #13729 is truly considered a bug that needs fixing that is.
