For the features not yet present in docs, you only get that information
from sources.

Assuming I understand the question correctly, no. For example, if a target is
built with threading=multi in properties, you get threading-multi in path,
and if target is built with threading=single, you get no extra path element.
For all purposes, it does not matter if you specify a value of feature explicitly,
or let it be defaulted.
