Use of Makefile in RStudio

Question

Why RStudio does not display structure of Makefile, especially specific targets, in RStudio's Build tab? I would expect it to display them and allow one to build those specific targets. Is this feature lacking in RStudio and RStudio Server or it's there and I just need to know where to enable it?
