It is through a custom UI, that we name exactly that, build configurations.  
There is an example of the corresponding configuration here:

I am not sure I understand correctly your last point.  Of course, when 
restarting clangd, we need to send again a `didOpen` for each file the user has 
currently open in the editor.  But that should be  it?

Yes, noted.  I preferred to avoid giving a special meaning to an empty string 
because we could avoid it.  But I wouldn't mind changing it if we go that route.
