Maybe you missed the really simple way: expand your build script in the 
Explorer, right-click any target, and choose Create Shortcut from the 
context menu. You can bind it to any keystroke, or add a menu item, etc.

Note that this facility is in a sense independent of the project system: 
the Ant script does not need to be part of a project, or if it is the 
project does not need to be open. It would be nice to be able to make a 
global menu item / shortcut / etc. that would act on e.g. the selected 
project, though what the UI to configure and use this should be is not 
obvious (to me anyway). Related: #21249, #58588, #50111.
