Initialization error: cannot find -lgurobi_c++.h

I have activated my gurobi license (working with Java). I have written a simple model and am trying to run it via C++ in Clion & Windows OS.

I have modified the CMakeList.txt as follows:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.13)
project(CHEO)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 20)
include_directories(C:/gurobi952/win64/include)
add_executable(CHEO main.cpp)
target_link_libraries(CHEO gurobi_c++.h)

However, once I run the model, I face the following error:

[1/1] Linking CXX executable CHEO.exe
FAILED: CHEO.exe 
cmd.exe /C "cd . && C:\PROGRA~1\JETBRA~1\CLION2~1.4\bin\mingw\bin\G__~1.EXE -g  CMakeFiles/CHEO.dir/main.cpp.obj -o CHEO.exe -Wl,--out-implib,libCHEO.dll.a -Wl,--major-image-version,0,--minor-image-version,0  -lgurobi_c++.h  -lkernel32 -luser32 -lgdi32 -lwinspool -lshell32 -lole32 -loleaut32 -luuid -lcomdlg32 -ladvapi32 && cd ."

collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Please note that I am a beginner (thanks for your patience in advance!)

Maybe How do I use CMake to build Gurobi C/C++ projects? might be helpful.

To explain the error: You cannot specify header files (*.h) in the CMake command target_link_libraries. This command is meant to specify libraries like libgurobi.so.
