CLion: Debugging on windows with DMD and LLDB

Hi,
as CLion is now free for hobby projects it is quite interesting 
IDE for me.
I try to get as much as possible working on a barebone CLion 
installation on Windows.

- Syntax highlighting for D is easy due to Textmate Bundle for D
- I registered *.D as as C files in the IDE, this enables me to 
set a breakoint
   in a source code line.

- Syntax check and Code completion is at the moment not 
interesting, Copilot does
   a pretty good job here.

Now the difficult part. CLion comes on Windows with GDB (MinGW 
Toolchain) and
LLDB 9.0 (Visual Studio Toolchain). I assume in theory it should 
be possible
to compile an x64 application with DMD and debug it with LLDB on 
Windows?

Kind regards
André
