I don't think I can review that but I do appreciate the feature!
Maybe we should make that explicit in the release notes?

What do you mean by 'feature'? clang-cpp library or clang_target_link_libraries function?

More dynamic, less static usage :)

More dynamic, less static isn't always a good thing. It saves disk space at the expense of performance. The option that controls this is CLANG_LINK_CLANG_DYLIB, which is mentioned in the clang 9.0 release notes.

Sure :)
For example, for a full build of llvm-toolchain, all the packages size drop from 510M to 278M
