SW.AITargeting House Enemy Only

Does Ares allow for superweapons with targeting such as SW.AITargeting=PsychicDominator to fire only at their house/preferred enemy?

I use this targeting for several weapons such as an EMP Cannon, a Chaos Airstrike, and a Nuke Airstrike, which all target the biggest group of enemy units as the PsychicDominator does.

But the enemy will use these on any enemy, rather than just their house enemy, as it's always been in the game. Under SW.AIRequiresHouse, the only enemy option is "enemies," which includes all enemies rather than a single enemy. While Nuke or LightningStorm targeting will only target house enemy in their coding.

Simply put, I want the AI to be able to use anti-unit/anti-infantry superweapons (such as the Psychic Dominator) ONLY on their house enemy, where as I seem to only have the option of them targeting every enemy, or I have to settle for making these weapons target their base/buildings like Nuke targeting, which limits the intended effectiveness.

For me, the AI will be much more effective against their opponents when they focus their superweapons on their primary target rather than attacking someone on the opposite side of the map who poses no threat to them at the time.

I don't believe that's possible, using targetting like the PsyDom or Mutator, it just looks for the largest group of enemy units, if that's in a different base then so be it.

Yeah, if it is what it is, then that's fine. Just wanted to check if anyone could confirm that. Thanks!
